LGBT activists

Partership example: Running LGBT trainings with All Out for activists from Kenya, Uganda and Nigeria

All Out is a global LGBT network with over 2 million supporters around the world that organizes social media actions to gather support for emerging issues of violated LGBT rights and freedoms. In collaboration with All Out, we produced a series of training for LGBT activists from Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria who were capacity built in basic campaign strategy, creative and digital campaigning, storytelling, fundraising and digital security.

As a result of the trainings, the LGBT youth gained:

• The knowledge, skills, and attitudes to plan, strategize and execute a creative and targeted campaign, in order to effect meaningful change in their communities.
• Increased understanding of the power of advocacy and the relevance of human rights framework to address social injustice.
• Increased confidence and skills as community leaders to gather support and be agents of social change by working together with their community members and likeminded organisations.
• The network of a diverse group of dedicated and experienced activists in Kenya, Uganda, and Nigeria who share the same struggle, learn from each other in a safe space and offer support in solidarity across countries.
