Скачать или смотреть Using Faith & Tradition to support an inclusive understanding of Gender & Sexuality, HRC47 event

This side event featured stories and projects from around the world celebrating diversity, love, and inclusion by centering the voices of marginalized people, predominantly from the Global South and East, who represent pre-colonial cultural and contemporary religious traditions and contexts that are inclusive and affirming of broader understandings of gender and sexuality.

The event sought to broadcast these stories to the international community, including governments, UN agencies, civil society organizations, and faith leaders, with the intent to unpack the ‘anti-gender’ discourse and offer insight into the effects that this neo-colonial discourse is having on global understandings of gender and sexuality.

The conversations and experiences the event featured are integral to the work of the United Nations and UN human rights mechanisms, and offer a strong riposte to the harmful and discriminatory lobbying and advocacy campaigns of anti-rights religious actors.
