“Nothing about us without us; we join hands to make an inclusive and diverse world. We have no right to discriminate against others; others would not be entitled to be bullied and discriminated too. We are all free and equal based on the universal declaration of human rights.”

Resilience in the face of adversity—LGBTIQ+ individuals continue to fight for recognition, protection, and equality. Change begins with understanding🌈

Although the government supports non-discrimination based on SOGIESC, tangible legislative and policy initiatives should be planned on the pledges of non-discrimination to LGBTIQ persons. Based on the experiences of meeting with many LGBTIQ people, legal support is crucial to eliminating discrimination against homosexuality. Furthermore, LGBTIQ people urge the government to legalise same-sex marriage to ensure that LGBTIQ people get equal rights and opportunities in society. Some progress has been achieved in advocating for the interests of LGBTIQ+ people through social media and the larger community. Hopefully, LGBTIQ+ people will become more self-assured and encouraged to engage in and be represented in community activities and events. They are utilising their skills to reach their potential and, of course, the society for development, leaving no one behind the action.
