In Tanzania, people who identify as LGBTQ+ face arrest, imprisonment, and physical violence. They can also lose their jobs, families, and access to health care and education just because of how they identify. Tanzania’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws add to the severe persecution. LGBT Voice of Tanzania helps to organize advocacy workshops that train activists on organizational, informational, and personal security for the LGBTQ+ community.

Food scarcity is prevalent in the United States. And due to the ongoing economic crisis, the need is especially urgent within Indigenous and Black communities in states like New Mexico, where the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact. Seeding Sovereignty serves people who don’t have reliable access to healthy food in Albuquerque through their community farm, Ancestral Acres. But it’s more than a community farm and garden—it also provides a safe, intentional place of healing that is centered around the wellness of LGBTQ+ community members.

NIJIIRO DIVERSITY supports LGBTQ+ people in Japan, where the government does not protect LGBTQ+ rights, and same-sex marriage is illegal. NIJIIRO DIVERSITY’s recent research, which polled more than 2,000 Japanese citizens, showed many people in the LGBTQ+ community face a higher risk of harassment at work, bullying, poverty, and mental illness. Yet, many are unable to ask for help for fear of discrimination. Through continuous advocacy, NIJIIRO DIVERSITY has helped corporations and organizations set up LGBTQ+ policies and LGBTQ+ groups.
