Against All Odds: The Legal Warriors Defending Uganda’s LGBTQI+ Community
['Tanyanika Samuels']
American Jewish World Service – AJWS
But AJWS grantee Human Rights Awareness and Promotion Forum (HRAPF) has become a powerful bastion of resilience and hope — despite ever-present risks.
Over the years, they have mounted successful legal challenges to discriminatory laws and policies targeting Uganda’s LGBTQI+ community.
In 2010, the group established Uganda’s first legal aid clinic serving the LGBTQI+ community.
Many have gone on to become licensed paralegals and human rights advocates working on national and international levels.
These findings are published in the organization’s monthly reports which are routinely referenced by noted human rights organizations and media outlets worldwide.
