Dangerous situation and threats that LGBTQ+ people face in different parts of the world

In this webinar Søren Søndergaard will share his experience and knowledge about the dangerous situation and threats that LGBTQ+ people face in different parts of the world and how tradition, religion and politics join forces to deny LGBT+ people their human rights to life and freedom to live peacefully as normal human beings.

They face different challenges, harassments and threats from various fronts. In eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa they risk losing their lives and freedom in addition to being barred from certain jobs etc. In Uganda, the government recently passed a law criminalising being LGBTQ+.

The workshop will start with introduction of the topic, present some updates with examples and Q&A and conclusion.

Speaker: Søren Sønderstrup, seasoned expert in democracy and good governance building, strategic communication,gender and international affairs with 20+ years lived experience from Eastern Europe, Russia, the Caucasus and Latin America.
