Join Us for the Launch of the Global LGBTIQ+ Health Project
In a time when global human rights are under threat, building bridges across continents, languages, and social divides has never been more important. We, a coalition of scholars, practitioners, and key institutions from over 70 countries across all continents, have come together to establish the Global LGBTIQ+ Health Project. Our shared vision is to foster a healthier, more inclusive global society where everyone—regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sex characteristics—can thrive.
Be part of our opening session, where leading experts from six continents will share their insights on «The current situation of LGBTIQ+ communities worldwide: Why collective action is essential to promote social inclusion, well-being, and health».
Featuring speeches from both national and international representatives, this event is a vital step toward advancing social justice and health equity on a global scale.
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and contribute to a more inclusive future.
