With the recent publication of OutRight’s ground breaking report on so-called Conversion Therapy, I was hired to help fight back efforts to change LGBTIQ people in Africa.
We live in a world where some LGBTIQ people will choose to undergo psychological mistreatment. 34% of our report’s respondents that experienced conversion therapy sought out the “treatment” themselves.
How is this even possible, but more importantly, what can you do to stop it?
Tomorrow, it’s Giving Tuesday, where every gift will be doubled. I can’t think of a better time where your gift will have a greater impact.
I believe in our mission of global advocacy and in advancing human rights LGBTIQ people. I wanted to be a key influencer within the African continent, by leveraging the gains already made by OutRight on a global level, advocating a regional and national level. But we can only do so much without your support.
A donation of just $100 will help give us the resources to provide a platform to amplify the voices of survivors of conversion therapy.
You have the power to help us demystify conversion therapy in societies deeply rooted in culture, traditions and religion.
A donation today can mean the end to conversion therapy tomorrow.
In solidarity,
Yvonne

P.S. You can make a bigger impact by making a monthly gift -- it’s a fact: over the course of one year, your monthly gift will add up to more than OutRight's average one-time gift, allowing OutRight to do even more critical work with your donation.
