Partners in Pride
Join the movement to champion health and human rights for LGBTIQ communities in sub-Saharan Africa
Stigma, discrimination and violence against LGBTIQ communities create dangerous barriers to healthcare and social services, including HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. Run by and for LGBTIQ communities, SLF partner organizations build hope and solidarity while providing access to HIV services, legal services, and psychosocial support. These human rights defenders are at the forefront of a global movement for LGBTIQ rights.


Join Partners in Pride and help to raise $3 million by 2023, so our LGBTIQ partners in sub‑Saharan Africa can:
- Reach 100,000 individuals annually
- Protect health and human rights
- Strengthen the pan‑African LGBTIQ human rights movement
