Why celebrating pride is important. Pride is awareness, Pride is resilience, it's simply expressing and existing together as a community. It's solidarity for many people who can't celebrate or march. Pride means refusing to be erased and choosing to simply be who you are. #pridemonth #Igbtq #pride

Living in a country with laws that violate our human rights is a huge challenge. Cheers to everyone still standing, still fighting for a better place to live.

Happy Pride Month! 🌈🏳️‍🌈 May this month be filled with love, joy, compassion, and a celebration of our vibrant, diverse community.

Uganda | Human rights lawyer Godiva Akullo wins the 2025 David Kato Award for fearless LGBTQ+ advocacy. Once behind the scenes, now boldly public—because dignity, rights, and equality aren't up for debate, no matter how loud the haters scream.

The US government’s suspension of most foreign aid is putting lives around the world at risk. Any new administration is entitled to review existing foreign aid, but continuing the delivery of important assistance is critical while the review is conducted.

The executive order appears to undermine the advocacy efforts of the transgender movement in the US by failing to recognize and respect the diversity of gender identities. observer.ug/viewpoint/tr...
