DAWN supports the lesbian, bisexual and trans-women of Africa and call on the government of South Africa to hold the Regional Seminar on Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE). This seminar is crucial to provide a venue for LGBTI people and their representatives to make their demands heard by their respective governments; and for the governments, once and for all, address the grave human rights violations experienced by LGBTI people across the region.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY SOUTH AFRICA CAMPAIGN
