Cook Islands: Working for basic LGBTI rights

Asia/Pacific

Broadcast – 8 November 2016

Following on from the 2016 LGBTI Pacific Youth Forum in Sydney, hosted by Kaleidoscope Australia, we profile the LGBTI rights and life in another of our Pacific neighbours – the Cook Islands.

• What is stopping the decriminalisation of homosexuality in the Cook Islands?
• How important is family and their acceptance of LGBTI family members?
• What does the future hold for the Cook Islands gay community?

For an insight into the gay rights of the Cook Islands, we speak with Tatryanna Eden LaCroix from Te-Tiare Association – a support and human rights association for trans women in the Cook Islands.
