2024 ILGA World Conference report

Returning to African soil for the first time in 25 years, our latest ILGA World Conference brought together over 1,450 delegates from more than 100 countries, hosted under the banner “Kwa umoja we rise” by local organisations Iranti and Gender DynamiX.

For five days, activists, researchers, policymakers, human rights defenders, and LGBTI communities convened to strategise, uplift voices, and respond to mounting anti‑rights backlash across the globe.
