We will fight against all those inequalities and injustice. We stand for the social dignity and rights of LGBTIQ community, as a part of that struggle - Pubudu Jayagoda
We were able to work with our relief partners @Venasa_VTN, @JaffnaSangam and Aruvi Malayaga Queer Foundation, thanks to the sponsorship of @OutRightIntl. We would like to extend special thanks to them and all resource providers.
A newly-launched livelihood support program of CWDF includes the donation of income generation equipment to LGBTIQ grassroots activists. Despite the difficulties faced during the pandemic, these individuals have done a service to the LGBTIQ community and continue to do so.
We commend AG's decision not to pursue a case against three gay men for homosexuality under article 365 of Sri Lanka's penal code.
We hope to see a legal sys1tem free from queerphobia.

It's impossible to avoid mental and physical deterioration when misconceptions are prevalent in society instead of sound logic and scientific beliefs.
Join us live on social media for a discussion on how to build a healthy society for #LGBTIQA+ equality.

We have provided immediate relief to 76 #LGBTIQ individuals during October through our Pride with a Purpose helpline. Our campaign would not have been so successful without the financial assistance of @OutRightIntl and @TrustNeelan, as well as countless individuals.
Here's the infographic for September outlining all the instances of help we were capable of giving to #queer individuals across the country. A number of people and institutions including the Neelan Tiruchelvam Trust contributed financially to our efforts during this month.
It was a very successful month. Throughout the month of August, we have handled a total of 160 cases of help through our Pride with a Purpose immediate relief helpline. Special thanks to Neelan Thiruchelvam Trust, FemCon and all the individual donors.
In collaboration with our fellow organization @JaffnaSangam, We have organized this discussion about Queer Politics. @MangalaLK was a Sri Lankan politician. He openly identified himself as a gay person.
