#IDAHOBIT2023
Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, Interphobia & Biphobia (IDAHOBIT).
The LGBTQ+ community faces unprecedented challenges in Kenya and across the world.
Today serves as a reminder for us to be"Together always: united in diversity,"
This Friday, we welcome you to our Instagram Live as we discuss how Climate Change impedes on SRH access among LGBTQ+ youth. We can't wait to see you there! #BoldQueers @ForumCivHubESA @ForumCiv @SwedeninKE @denmarkinkenya @JacksonObare2 @jacksonotieno @maxie_on
This #IDAHOBIT2023, we affirm our commitment in ensuring equality in diversity. We call out oppression targeted towards LGBTQ+ persons such as the draconian #FPB2023. The future can only get better. @ForumCivHubESA @ForumCiv @UraiaTrust @denmarkinkenya @SwedeninKE
Climate Change exposes gaps in SRH service provision. That is why we endeavor to #QueerClimateActions to include the LGBTQ+ voices in the climate change conversations. @ForumCivHubESA @ForumCiv @RFSU @UraiaTrust @PlanKenya
