Kaleidoscope Trust and the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom
\ninvite you to attend an event and public discussion:<\/p>\n
\u201cLGBTI+ Rights, Security and the Changing Global Landscape\u201d<\/p>\n
Against a backdrop of multilateral retreat, geopolitical instability and democratic backsliding, the panel will examine why LGBTI+ rights are not a peripheral ‘social’ concern but a strategic component of economic security, democratic resilience and the international rule-based order. We will draw out how attacks on gender equality and SOGI rights are increasingly weaponised by authoritarian movements, and what like-minded governments, diplomats and civil society can do in response.<\/p>\n
Panel:
\n– Helen Kennedy, Executive Director, Egale Canada
\n– Ken Janssens, Chief Executive Officer, Open for Business
\n– Ruslan Savolainen, LGBTI+ Activist, forced to leave Russia to continue his work
\n– moderation: Stelios Foteinopoulos, International Policy and Advocacy Manager, Kaleidoscope Trust<\/p>\n
