Our Mission
Our mission is to amplify the needs, voices, visibility, and resources for LBQ+ women globally. Our work is desperately needed:
-
Global LBQ+ women activists are underfunded;
-
Inadequate women’s resources and LGBT resources don’t find their way to LBQ+ women;
-
Most donors/philanthropists aren’t aware of the marginalization, invisibility, and discrimination against LBQ women globally. Even many LBQ women are unaware of the needs of our global LBQ sisters;
-
Donations can have a bigger impact internationally;
-
Underfunded LBQ+ women’s activists who face paperwork and colonial oversight burdens may avoid pursuing grants from established organizations.
LesbianGlobal collaborated with Human Rights Watch (HRW) https://www.hrw.org/topic/lgbt-rights to study LBQ+ women’s needs globally to enable a global context and data-informed approach to our learning, advocacy, and giving. See the study here.
