Sexual violence can happen to anyone and by anyone, but research shows LGBTQI+ communities are targeted specifically because of their identities. While we have seen huge steps towards fairer treatment of LGBTQI+ people, a widespread anti-gender movement is making it more difficult for organisations to effectively prevent and respond to violence against the queer community.

In this episode, we hear about the unique challenges LGBTQI+ people in Eswatini and Sri Lanka face, the policies and programmes working to address violence against LGBTQI+ people and the challenges stakeholders face when carrying out this work. We also hear messages of optimism about how far advocacy work in this space has come and hopes for a brighter, more inclusive future.

Our guests are:

Bheki Sithole, Technical Advisor at Family Health International (FHI) 360 for EpiC Eswatini

Michele Lanham, Director of Knowledge Management, HIV Department, FHI 360

Rosanna Flamer-Caldera, Executive Director, Equal Ground

Your hosts are:

Elizabeth Dartnall, Executive Director, SVRI

Ayesha Mago, Global Advocacy Director, SVRI
