We had a hugely productive visit to New York, discussing #SafeToBeMe2022 with UN partners and US-based civil society, businesses and foundations.

Grateful for everyone's enthusiasm and ambition!

Good meetings with the @UN LGBTI Core Group and businesses to discuss our plans to make the #SafeToBeMe2022 conference a global forum for change, focusing on key issues such as tackling violence and advancing decriminalisation 🇺🇳🇺🇸🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

[Ruth Turner @RuthTurner2]

Delighted to meet Argentine colleagues who we work so closely with as co-chairs of the Equal Rights Coalition 🏳️‍🌈

Argentina is doing brilliant work on LGBT+ rights at home and around the world! 🇦🇷

#LGBTHM22

[Ruth Turner @RuthTurner2]

Busy few days in Washington DC with @nickherbertcbe!

🇺🇲 meeting Jessica Stern, Jay Gilliam, Admiral Levine, and David Cicilline
🤝 engaging with civil society
🏳️‍🌈 discussing #SafeToBeMe2022
🏛 learning with @worldbank
✌ attending #lgbtqleaders21

Thanks for having us @UKinUSA

[Nick Herbert @nickherbertcbe]

It was an honour to meet the impressive Admiral Levine @HHS_ASH — the appointment of an openly transgender official to such a senior public position — the first to be confrmed by the @USSenate — is an inspiration to many and a powerful statement of inclusion.

[Nick Herbert @nickherbertcbe]

Really good meeting with my opposite number in the US, Jessica Stern, Special Envoy for LGBTQI+ Rights. We’re committed to working together to promote #LGBT+ equality worldwide 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈

[Nick Herbert @nickherbertcbe]

Great to join Minister for Equalities @MinFreerHMG and #LGBT+ Business Champion @iain_w_anderson at an excellent #LGBTatWork event this evening where I spoke about #SafeToBeMe2022 our global #LGBT+ conference next year and the key role we see for business in it 🏳️‍🌈
