Pride is more than just a celebration; it's a powerful act of resistance, resilience, and love. This year, we’re raising funds to ensure that PRIDE 2025 is more inclusive than ever despite the financial and homophobic challenges we face. (1)

Imagine navigating a world where every step is a challenge—where public spaces, workplaces, and family homes feel unwelcoming. For queer persons with disabilities in Sri Lanka, life is a daily battle against discrimination, exclusion, and societal indifference.

Being an ally is about more than support it’s about building a world where everyone is free to be their true selves. When you show up as an ally, you help create safer spaces, stronger communities, and a future where everyone is valued. 🌈✨

This International Women’s Day, we’re calling out the injustices that continue to harm women and marginalised communities. From the lack of marital rape laws to domestic violence, women deserve better. Equality is not a privilege, it’s a right. It’s time to demand real change.

LGBTIQ people face discrimination, hate, and injustice every single day, online and offline. From harmful laws to everyday prejudice, the fight for equality is far from over. No one should have to justify their existence or battle for basic rights. 🌈✊

“Thanks to archaic Victorian-era laws that are still present in Sri Lanka, the country’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Queer/Questioning (LGBTIQ) community has been marginalised and discriminated against for over a century.” https://t.co/ftUeNSfmGp
