You are cordially invited to this Webtalk:
Anti-rights-movements increasingly target LGBTQI+ and women’s rights globally. Across the African continent, the struggle for human rights and particularly for sexual and reproductive rights is shaped by both colonial legacies and contemporary geopolitical shifts. The U.S.’s departure from its leadership role in development cooperation and humanitarian aid, and the impact of globally operating faith-based actors in shaping anti-LGBTQI+ legislation impact feminist and LGBTQI+ human rights defenders. In this time of multilayered global assault on the rights of LGBTQI+ individuals, it is crucial to respond in solidarity and in a way that takes a decolonial approach seriously.
