United Nations: Fighting For Human Rights On The World Stage

Worldwide

Broadcast – 09 Feb 2016

This is a very special show on many a level. Not only is this our 200th show, but we head off to explore the push for LGBTI rights in the corridors of the United Nations.

• How do you approach a country that just doesn’t want to talk about LGBTI rights?
• What is the special role that women have in breaking down barriers?
• What are the challenges and opportunities for the LGBTI community in 2016?

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