SGBV AMONG LBTIQ Women in Africa

We are committed to addressing the pervasive issue of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) among LBTIQ women in Africa. SGBV remains a critical and often overlooked issue that significantly impacts the lives of LBTIQ women, leading to severe physical, emotional, and psychological consequences

Leadership and Capacity Strengthening

Recognizing the critical role that leadership plays in driving social change, our programs are designed to build the skills, confidence, and networks necessary for LBTIQ women to become effective leaders and advocates in their communities.
