PROTECTING AND PROMOTING THE
HUMAN, CIVIC AND DEMCRATIC RIGHTS
OF LGBTQI+ PERSONS IN AFRICA.

OVERVIEW

WHAT WE DO

ADVANCE INCLUSIVE LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORKS

We work with movements to lead strategic advocacy at national, regional, and continental levels. By accompanying queer and feminist actors to engage institutions like the African Union and ECOWAS, we ensure that legal reform reflects lived realities and challenges exclusionary regimes that criminalize identity and dissent.

EXPOSE AND COUNTER ANTI-RIGHTS AND ANTI-GENDER MOVEMENTS

We document and analyze the ideological and financial networks driving anti-rights mobilization. By convening movements to share analysis and reclaim distorted narratives, we disrupt the legitimacy of anti-rights actors and reassert justice, autonomy, and freedom as foundational to Africa's history and future.

EXPAND CIVIC PARTICIPATION AND LEADERSHIP

We support queer and feminist communities to engage meaningfully in civic life; through advocacy, and public discourse. We prioritize youth-led participation and collective political education that equips communities to demand transparency and inclusion, ensuring democratic engagement extends beyond elite spaces.

HOLD STATES AND INSTITUTIONS ACCOUNTABLE

We work with legal practitioners and journalists to document violations and strengthen evidence for advocacy. Holding states accountable to the people they serve, especially those whose voices are often ignored, including women, queer communities, and other marginalized groups.
