Amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, ILGA World has kept convening our global LGBTI family - only, in forms that are different than the usual.
In March 2020, we launched #inthistogether, CONNECTED, a series of online roundtables and advocacy webinars on the queer world during and after COVID-19.
We discussed the impact and response to the COVID-19 pandemic among LGBTI organisations from across the world, and we looked into how human rights defenders can keep conducting their advocacy work in United Nations fora even during these challenging times.
In case you missed it these events, you can watch all the recordings below!
