Including LGBTQI+ Groups in the SDGs
In February, SWIDN held an informal Working Group session to hear from South West-based donor organisation AmplifyChange about their work to achieve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all and improve queer inclusion in the sustainable development goals.
Using the content from this closed session, SWIDN created a brief resource for our members and wider community to support better queer-safe practice in UK organisations within international development. We hope this will facilitate a starting point for discussions and learning.
If you would like to find out about the work SWIDN is doing to support our members to improve queer inclusive practice in the international development sector, please get in touch with hannah@swidn.org.uk
