We’re proud to share that our senior YAC member, Heshan Niluminda—who also serves as the Chairperson of the Diversity and Solidarity Trust (DAST)—had the honour of participating in a special gathering hosted by Acting High Commissioner Lisa Whanstall and the British High Commission team. 🌈

The event brought together a diverse group of individuals advocating for greater protections and rights for the LGBT+ community across 🇱🇰. Heshan’s presence at this space reflects not only his continued commitment to equality and justice, but also the values that drive our collective every day.

We are so proud to have such passionate and dedicated activists like Heshan among us. Together, we keep pushing for a more inclusive, equal, and safer Sri Lanka for all. 🏳️‍🌈💪

It’s inspiring to see organizations like yours taking steps to bridge gaps between communities through dialogue, visibility, and shared experiences.

Happy Pride Month to everyone — let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and standing together. 🏳️‍🌈💖

🌈✨ We extend our heartfelt thanks to the UNDP Sri Lanka, the Support to Justice Sector Project (JURE)—jointly implemented by UNDP and UNICEF with support from the European Union—and the Ministry of Justice and National Integration for inviting our Young Activists’ Collective to participate in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) held on 19th May 2025 at the UN Compound.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation on improving access to legal aid and justice for gender diverse communities in Sri Lanka. Our representatives and community members were honoured to share lived experiences, identify legal barriers, and explore collaborative strategies for a more inclusive and equitable justice system.

Thank you for recognizing the voices of young activists and grassroots communities in shaping a future where justice is truly accessible to all. 💜⚖️
