About the Project
LGBT Equality is dedicated to promoting the human rights of individuals with diverse sexual orientations (lesbian, gay, bisexual) and gender identities (transgender and transvestite). The organization focuses its efforts within two primary areas: Health and Human Rights, with its projects structured accordingly. LGBT Equality has offices in Montero and Camiri, with its headquarters located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra.
Project 1: “Contributing to the development of democracy, promoting effective implementation of civil and political rights of people with different sexual orientation and gender identity within the framework of the Constitution of Bolivia and international treaties in force” This project involves meetings and mobilization of the LGBT population at departmental and national levels, socialization of proposals from LGBT organizations, and monitoring of proposals submitted to government agencies. It also includes updating and disseminating news about affective-sexual diversity and participating in mass media interviews to report on LGBT rights.
Project 2: Increased levels of prevention against HIV-AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and protection of human rights in gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) in Santa Cruz. This project includes conversations with students and teachers in schools, conducting educational fairs, radio programs, and literary contests. It also involves organizing cultural events such as a Film Festival and Festival TransFest, engaging in talks on the prevention of STIs, HIV, and AIDS, distributing prevention materials, and hosting alternative events like a condom night festival.
