International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia on May 17. In a small town in an African country known for its homophobic laws, a group of LGBTI activists and allies have just welcomed 400 new chickens to a new enterprise that will provide jobs for several LGBTI people and support food and housing for others.
In many countries we are seeing grassroots activists using a fresh set of strategies to open up economic opportunities for LGBTI people.
LGBTI people are making and selling soap to help their community prevent COVID-19 in another African country. Transgender women in India have started a dairy farm, and other South Asian transgender women have created an online marketplace to sell their crafts and art.
