Abdul left Ghana seeking safety. When he found Safe Passage Project, he found something else too: a community that showed up for him. Today, he's a green card holder building the future he came here for. This is why we do this work. Every young person deserves a lawyer, a support system, and a real chance. 🎥: @cowboybearninja

“It’s creating an environment of anxiety over the pushback of the work we’ve done over the years.” This is what $125 million in funding cuts sounds like from the frontlines. Research stopped. Advocacy paused. Peer support networks scaled back. Plans shelved. The exact resources LGBTIQ communities need to survive and thrive are disappearing at the moment backlash is accelerating. “The impact is immediate, but it also has future impact that could actually stop some critical and important work going on,” @obiomachukwuike, Executive Director of @intersex_nigeria_, explained to us. We see the effects of this crisis taking shape right now, but it’s also about tomorrow’s movement. But our global community fights back. @outrightintl ’s Funding Our Freedom campaign is actively raising $10 million by June 2026. We’re raising this money to keep research and documentation going, sustain policy advocacy that protects fundamental human rights, maintain peer support networks, and continue the strategic work that builds long-term power for our communities. Will you help keep the movement strong? 🧡 Power the movement, check out our profile.

Some of the most powerful moments in this work don’t happen in big rooms or public conversations. They happen in quiet spaces, when someone finally feels safe enough to be themselves. Being part of this work has reminded me how much safety and belonging are still not guaranteed for many queer people around the world. And yet, I constantly witness people choosing care, solidarity, and community anyway. That resilience is something that stays with me. I’m grateful to walk this journey as an ambassador with Safe Place International, and to be surrounded by people who believe that dignity, safety, and community should exist for everyone. What does safety mean to you? 🌍 https://safeplaceinternational.org/ #safeplaceinternational #community #queercommunity #communitycare

The recent launch event of The Caribbean LGBTQI Fund hosted with fund sponsor @liamrez 🎉 Across the Caribbean, LGBTQI people continue to face systemic barriers. In recent years, grassroots movements have made significant strides in dismantling discriminatory, colonial-era criminal laws that target LGBTQI communities. The Caribbean LGBTQI Fund has been established to power and sustain progress, through providing much needed funding to GiveOut’s grant partners across the region. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the launch event and showed their support, at this vibrant Caribbean-themed evening and congratulations to the award winners! 🏆 @ladyphyll @trinijayjay @geoffkcooper 🔗 Link in bio to learn more about The Caribbean LGBTQI Fund and how to get involved

2025/2026 Board | Leading Climate Action & Inclusion Accessibility Specialist: Kemoy George Question: In three years, what change have you seen that makes you most proud to serve on this board? Answer: Inclusion Inclusion means everyone is valued, heard, and able to contribute—not just present, but actively involved in creating change. As Accessibility Specialist, Kemoy George represents what true inclusion looks like in action. Being a member of the disability community and serving on the board, his role goes beyond representation—it is about having a voice, providing input, and contributing to meaningful change. Over the past three years, the organization has created spaces where individuals with disabilities are not only included, but empowered to lead, influence, and shape the direction of the work. Inclusion is not a checkbox—it is a commitment. And while progress has been made, there is still more work to be done to ensure that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued across Antigua and Barbuda. #GoodHumans268 #Inclusion #AccessibilityMatters #ClimateAction #antiguaandbarbuda2025

Gender equality is more than a slogan. It is about dignity, safety, and opportunity for everyone. Yet for many people in Nigeria (especially trans and non-binary individuals) true equality is still out of reach. This series looks beyond the buzzwords to the real experiences, challenges, and conversations shaping gender equality today. #GenderEquality #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQNigeria #InclusionMatters #TheColoredSpace

This morning at the UN Headquarters Queer Corner Caribbean's co-founder and Attorney At Law Terry-Ann Roy @terryterrz represented our community on a global platform. Championing the need for inclusive rights and protections. Have a listen to her remarks. We may seem quiet at times, but trust when we say we are always working... we really always are. Thank you Terry for all that you do and have done for our community and the betterment of this world we share.

𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: 𝐖𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 True inclusion means reaching those furthest from opportunity and power. In Kenya, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, ethnic minorities, refugees and people living with HIV/AIDS face overlapping barriers to employment, healthcare, education, and civic life. These aren't abstract challenges. They show up in health outcomes, income gaps, and the daily experience of being unseen. SHOFCO's approach is deliberately intersectional. In 2025: ◾We addressed 39993 cases of gender-based violence through our response programs ◾We achieved 0% mother-to-child HIV transmission in our clinics, compared to a 15% national rate ◾We provided 575 girls from Kibera and Mathare's most marginalized households with free, quality education ◾We supported 250,000 individuals with employability training, and entrepreneurship support. 125,656 verified youth in work. ◾We reached 2.5 million people through the SHOFCO Urban Network, the majority living in informal settlements, Kenya's most underserved urban populations Our community advocacy platforms give structured voice to those historically excluded from civic participation: women, youth, people with disabilities, and the refugees. They don't just participate, they influence local, county, and national policy. SHOFCO prioritizes inclusion across all programs. It's an architect upon which we build everything. Because a community that leaves anyone behind isn't truly free. How does your organization centre the most marginalized in its programs? We'd love to learn from you.
