International Woman’s Day matters for LGBTQI+ people

Lesbian, bisexual and transgender women are facing even greater disadvantages because of their sexual orientation and gender identity and as a result often suffer from multiple discrimination and disadvantages.

We know that there is, and always has been, more that unites us than divides us. But only when we acknowledge the shared nature of our struggles can we work together to create a world where everyone is safe, supported, and free to be themselves. On this International Women’s Day, we urge our communities to come together in solidarity and begin taking the steps needed to make this a reality.
