In a season when many of us proudly assert our identities, countless members of our global LGBTIQ family cannot imagine such a reality. In Tajikistan, a needs assessment conducted by one of our partners — who asked not to be publicly named for security reasons — confirmed that most lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer women live in constant fear for their lives. As we know, Tajikistan is just one example of what is happening to our communities worldwide. Join our 2024 Pride Matching Gift Challenge to support our community's response to threats across the world. Every donation made before June 30 will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000. https://lnkd.in/e5nH3xBR
