This Pride Month ๐ณ๏ธโ๐, we celebrate the courage, resilience and leadership of Nepal's LGBTIQ+ communities, while reaffirming that equality must be experienced not only in law, but in everyday life.
In a study conducted by UN Women & the Government of Finland in Nepal, with Blue Diamond Society & Viamo - Digital Made Easy, '๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง: ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐๐๐+ ๐๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ฅ' reveals a stark reality: 4 in 5 LGBTIQ+ respondents reported experiencing violence in their lifetime. Behind every statistic is a person whose rights, dignity and safety matter.
The evidence is clear. Progress requires action โ stronger protections, inclusive services, accountable institutions, and a society where everyone can live free from violence and discrimination, regardless of s*xual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or s*x characteristics.
