DEVELOPMENT AND UPLIFTMENT OF LGBTQ COMMUNITIES
Years
ago we started to develop leadership in the LGBT community. We now have five
LGBT groups and a group of sex workers who have come together to reflect on how
to advance advocacy and advocacy concerns. It is time for the United Nations to
become more proactive. CEDAW is one of the most powerful tools for defending
women's rights. When you have strong UN mechanisms with a wide range of
enforcement capacities, this can be one of the best things about LGBTI rights.
The visibility of LGBTI people is the
ultimate driver of change, although in some places it can lead to job loss,
loss of family support and even life
threatening. One can clearly understand why a lot of people are afraid to go
out. One effective strategy is to involve parents of LGBTI people in public
initiatives: this helps counter efforts to dehumanize LGBTI people. LGBTI
people live in countries with constitutional rights guaranteeing equal rights,
using the courts to challenge discriminatory laws and policies. It is important
to note that LGBT rights are not a Western phenomenon. Many of the governments
that are at the forefront of protecting LGBT rights come from developing
countries. The landmark LGBT resolution at the United Nations Human Rights
Council, adopted in September 201, was led by governments in the South, mostly
in Latin America, and supported by others around the world, including the South
Africa. Even governments that normally oppose the application of human rights,
like Cuba, Venezuela and Vietnam, support him. Larger changes in society have
prompted some to seek greater recognition of LGBT rights, such as more equal
gender relations, a general rights revolution, and greater respect for LGBT
rights with individual autonomy. In this context, you see the LGBT community
slowly emerging, so that people suddenly find out that they have a gay brother,
son, close neighbor or colleague, which begins to define their perception of
the public and underpins it. Social change, Fanaticism can easily exist in a
context of ignorance, but when you are stubborn towards a close friend or
neighbor you start to think, “Maybe LGBT people are really normal people; maybe
I should recognize their rights. Why can't they love the person they choose
like me? However, the lingering fear of 'the other' may also apply to some of
the other trends we see in the outlook for this year's global agenda - such as
the rise of nationalism and in recent years we have strengthened the leadership
capacities of the LGBT community. People living in countries with
constitutional guarantees of equal rights use the courts to challenge
discriminatory laws and policies, which facilitates subsequent cases and also
enables media coverage and public debate on gender. The film is also a source
of inspiration for people whose focus or gender is not openly expressed.
