Partnership with Global Affairs Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since first\u00a0meeting the Canadian Prime Minister in 2018, we\u2019ve deepened our partnership with the Canadian Government to deliver change for LGBTI+ people in the Commonwealth. With critical funding from Global Affairs Canada since 2021, we have shaped Commonwealth agendas and ensured Commonwealth leaders hear the voices and priorities of our LGBTI+ partners from around the world. We have provided needed resources to our partner organisations in Botswana, Jamaica, Namibia, and Pakistan.\u00a0 And we have helped sustain\u00a0The Commonwealth Equality Network (TCEN), enabling it to transform into a network that delivers even more for its members through our collective advocacy and peer to peer exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the Canadian Government announced further funding in support of our ongoing work fighting for LGBTI+ rights across the Commonwealth<\/strong>. We welcome this vote of confidence in Kaleidoscope Trust and in our work with our partners in TCEN and around the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remarking on our continued partnership, Alex Farrow, our CEO, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am delighted by the Government of Canada\u2019s announcement at CHOGM in Samoa, which I have just returned from. It\u2019s especially important at a time when LGBTI+ rights are under sustained attack globally and governments are pulling back from their human rights support and obligations more generally. <\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This additional investment will allow us to build on our numerous successes over recent years \u2013 and to work to address the immense obstacles our global communities continue to face. We will accelerate our advocacy in the Commonwealth as well as our efforts to support and connect activists and organisations with those in power, so the Commonwealth and its member states take positive action on LGBTI+ rights as a priority.\u201d<\/em><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
