Advocacy Week is an annual event organized by Outright International. It brings together lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ) activists from around the world for training and capacity-building. This gathering is also an opportunity for activists to meet and engage with UN agencies and Member State Missions on local, regional, and global issues affecting the LGBTIQ community. Last December, Outright invited a host of activists from around the world. We asked why Advocacy Week was important to them, their organizations, and our goal to advance community-focused solutions to create lasting legal and social transformation.
