The role
ILGA Oceania advances LGBTI advocacy in the Pacific and the region, strengthening community-led initiatives through tailored capacity assessments and development plans, so that each community receives the support that matters most to them.
Translating global standards into locally relevant laws, policies, and practices, together we advance LGBTQ, intersex, and rainbow Pasifika rights in Oceania.
