The Coalition of African Lesbians (CAL) is a network of organisations working to transform Africa into a continent where all lesbians, bisexual and trans-diverse people enjoy a full range of human rights, secure in the knowledge that they are recognised as full persons and citizens, with rich and diverse cultures, and enjoy significant and respected presence in all the spheres of life. Their work is shaped by an African radical feminist understanding, informed by research, and strengthened by the claiming of social and economic power.
APC, the Association for Women’s Rights in Development, the Coalition of African Lesbians and the Sexual Rights Initiative call upon states to speak out and counter anti-rights propaganda and the dismantling of the global and African human rights mechanisms.
