Thank you very much to APCOM for the warm hospitality and for creating a safe and meaningful space for dialogue and learning. 🌈🤝 Paknaan United Transgender and Youth (PUTAY) is deeply grateful for the opportunity to engage in this exchange and to learn more about APCOM’s impactful regional work on HIV awareness, community empowerment, and LGBTQIA+ human rights advocacy.
The discussions on Thailand’s LGBTQIA+ landscape, ongoing advocacy efforts, and existing support systems were truly insightful and inspiring. We also appreciate the chance to share our experiences from Cebu, particularly the challenges around the rising HIV cases and the importance of strengthening community-led and youth-driven responses. These conversations reaffirm the value of cross-border solidarity and knowledge sharing among LGBTQIA+ organizations in the region.
This exchange has strengthened our commitment to collaboration and collective action. We are excited about the possibilities for future partnerships between Paknaan United Transgender and Youth and APCOM, especially in advancing inclusive health responses, empowering trans and youth communities, and advocating for equality and human rights. Together, we can continue to support and uplift our LGBT communities across borders and work toward a healthier, more just, and inclusive future for all. 🌏✨
