Session summary
In a world where doomscrolling is the norm and the bad news facing our communities dominates the headlines, it is worth remembering the successes LGBTQ+ organisations and communities have around the world and what lies behind this. Whether it's community pressures in Australia's regions leading to conversion therapy bans to Ireland adopting comprehensive hate-crime legislation to consistent successful legal challenges to drag bans in various US states, there are lessons that campaigners, activists and organisations can learn in challenging bigotry and restrictive political and legislative efforts across the globe. This session will provide a number of fast-paced case studies, from the global north and south, that cover engagement at the political, legislative and civil society level and give attendees both practical knowledge to apply to their own practice and also provide a sense of optimism that our communities have the ability to successfully fight back to defend and advance our rights.
