BREXIT and International LGBTIQ Politics

eu_flagBroadcast – 28 June 2016

There is upheaval in the world. The so-called “Brexit” vote for the United Kingdom to exit the European Union has caused shockwaves not just in England, but around the globe – and left more questions than answers. It’s times like these that we look to the United Nations for guidance.

  • How do LGBTIQ people gain a voice at the table of the United Nations?
  • What is the special role that women have in breaking down barriers?
  • How do you approach a country that just doesn’t want to talk about LGBTIQ rights?

To discover what goes on behind the scenes at the world level to advance LGBTIQ rights, we speak with Andre Du Plessis, UN Programme and Advocacy Manager for ILGA – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association.
