In recognition of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), join the Stephen Lewis Foundation for this timely and compelling conversation about the role of global solidarity in championing health and human rights. Strength to Strength brings together diverse perspectives from community-based organizations in Canada, Rwanda, and Kenya that are addressing the impacts of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia and intersecting forms of oppression on LGBTIQ2S communities.
It is increasingly clear that there are deadly consequences to ignoring the ways in which global pandemics like HIV and COVID-19 thrive on inequalities, discrimination, and social and economic marginalization. Our local struggles for health and rights are globally linked, and we must work together for wellbeing, health, and human rights. Join us to hear directly from LGBTIQ2S leaders about the successes and challenges their organizations are experiencing and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A Q&A will follow the conversation.
Host: Maurice Tomlinson, Board Member of the Stephen Lewis Foundation
