Today we celebrate #IDAHOT with @galzinf by joining in the painting of a rainbow wall at their offices. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
The rainbow symbolizes diversity. We are all different, but equal!
Our own rainbow wall at the embassy reminds us daily that #LGBTI rights are #HumanRights.
The Ambassador of @NLinZimbabwe did the honour of painting the first brush strokes on our #Pride Wall for #galzidahot and was later joined by #LGBTI sector leaders in celebration of all the gender identities, sexual orientations and expressions under the rainbow ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Shouting out homophobic slurs and threatening 2 beat the gay out of us is violence and it needs to stop. Too many LGBTQI have lost their lives in the hands of hate & oppression. Every human being deserves to feel safe wherever they may be. #16DaysOfActivism@Pakasipiti@my_tash
The conversation around GBV is often exclusionary in many ways. Violence against LGBTQI isn't talked about or considered GBV. The concept of gender itself needs 2 be understood in-depth 2 avoid leaving out other groups such as the trans community #16DaysOfActivism@Pakasipiti
There is a hierarchy in our society that devalues or values women based on particular status such as marriage, children, singleness, etc. We need to dismantle this hierarchy because it promotes violence against women & all those who don't meet the standard #16DaysOfActivism
Queer persons were not only the most vulnerable group cos of homophobia within family spaces, communities &online spaces, they also had struggles reporting GBV because of the discrimination in mainstream service providers. There is limited response in place for sexual minorities
Gender Based Violence is NOT an event, NOT a tick in government calendar, NOT a campaign. #16DaysOfActivism is a plea and reminder of the daily struggles that victims/survivors of #GBV face. Donโt make it about perpetrators, this is not the platform to โhear them outโ. Do better.
A very intense, powerful one of a kind training. Thumps up to everyone who was present both in real time and digitally @TIRZ7@galzinf@Pakasipiti@263vovo
In the latest in our series on how our partners are responding to #COVID19 with the Womankind resilience grant, Patience from @Pakasipiti talks about how the mental health of the LBTQ+ community has been impacted & what they're doing to support wellbeing.
