Pride events and flying the rainbow flag are great ways for businesses to celebrate progress and show solidarity with their LGBTQI staff and the wider community. But to help those around the world facing discrimination and violence on a daily basis we need to do more.

By standing in solidarity with LGBTQI communities around the world, our corporate allies are ensuring that these organisations have more of the resources they need to create a world where LGBTQI people can live freely and fully.

This Pride month we want to celebrate some of our incredible donors who make the work of our partners possible through providing vital funding to grassroots LGBTQI organisations.

Rachel Reese 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 and Emma Cusdin (She/Her/Hers) from Global Butterflies said “We know that trans and non-binary people around the world are having a very challenging time. We want to provide a giving vehicle for all of our corporate and personal connections to support all the amazing trans and non-binary campaigners making positive changes.” Thank you to Global Butterflies and all the supporters of the Global Butterflies Fund for supporting trans communities, and for marking Pride with Purpose. #LGBTQI #HumanRights #PrideBeyondBorders #Philanthropy #CorporateSupport 

Breaking news! The High Court in Namibia has overturned laws that criminalise homosexuality. The court ruling stated the colonial-era sodomy law is unconstitutional. A huge congratulations to all of the activists and organisations involved in making this groundbreaking victory possible. Talking about the ruling, GiveOut grant partner The Commonwealth Equality Network (TCEN) said, “Namibia joins Dominica and Mauritius on the growing list of Commonwealth countries that are repealing or removing these discriminatory colonial laws. Despite the challenges facing our communities globally, victories like these show another world is possible.” TCEN supports and connects LGBTQI activists from across the Commonwealth to raise their voices against the damaging impact of British colonial laws, especially the criminalisation of same-sex relations, and to advocate for reform in Commonwealth meetings including Heads of Government meetings. 📸: Equal Namibia
