The project intervenes on two levels: i) support and protect activists and defenders of the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community in monitoring, prevention and response to violations and abuses; (ii) strengthen the capacities of civil society, by consolidating their networking and their action and advocacy strategies for the construction of the rule of law based on gender equality and non-discrimination.
Three expected results are thus identified as interdependent:
1. The protection and empowerment of human rights activists and defenders, members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community;
2. The capacity building and networking of organizations active in the defense of human rights and LGBTQIA+,
3. The creation of a favorable environment through advocacy, information and sensitization of major duty bearers, media and public opinion.
