About this Event

From the legacy of the Stonewall Riots to today’s global movements, the fight for equality has never been more visible, or more contested. This powerful talk explores the current state of LGBTQI+ rights across different regions, unpacking the tensions between legal advancements, lived realities, and the rise of co-ordinated backlash. Why are rights expanding in some places while being rolled back in others? And what does this mean for the future of global equality? Drawing on real-world examples, global trends, and frontline experiences, this session will challenge assumptions, spark critical thinking, and highlight the urgent need for solidarity across borders.
