Dear John,
Imagine a world where everyone is safe from violence — a world where LGBTIQ people are no longer oppressed by brutal cultural “traditions” steeped in prejudice and fear.
Building this world will take all of us standing together, taking action, and fighting for the change we wish to see. To fuel this fight, a group of generous Outright International donors has pledged to match every dollar you give — up to $35,000 — so please make your gift today.
Take Action: Double Your Impact ([link removed])
Here in Taiwan, where I live and work, being homosexual isn’t a crime. But in many parts of Asia, and countless countries around the world, LGBTIQ individuals are excluded from protections against domestic and family violence. Too often, this violence is hidden behind cultural practices, making it difficult for many to even recognize it as abuse.
But our LGBTIQ family doesn’t have to face this problem alone.
Thanks to Outright’s Asia network — spanning 19 countries — LGBTIQ activists share strategies, expertise, model interventions, and hope, strengthening each other’s efforts to address abuse in their communities. In the Philippines, for example, in addition to advocacy, Outright and our partners train service providers — police officers, social workers and psychologists — to be LGBTQ culturally competent when LGBTQ people access the protection system.
This program is driving real change in the Philippines and serves as a prototype for other parts of Asia… and countries around the world. But this progress doesn’t happen without action.
Please make a gift today, because every dollar you give not only supports these types of interventions but will be DOUBLED until midnight EST on 12/31 - you’ll have twice the impact. ([link removed])
The world we imagine — a world where everyone can thrive, free from violence, oppression, and limitations — won’t come to life on its own. It takes people like you, bold enough to demand change, to turn this vision into reality.
