Thank you for your support as always, Liz. And what a result! £120k raised! Thank you so much to everyone who joined #City4LGBT and showed support for #LGBTQI communities in the UK, Kenya, the Western Balkans and Turkey.
Proud to be a trustee of @GiveOut_Org supporting #City4LGBT in the company of brilliant corporate alliies. Fighting back against the tide of anti LGBT+ , anti human rights attacks. Our enemies have large funds from right wing funds, time to stand up to these bullies.

This is a sad news, another and one of the last credible media outlets in Cambodia is coming to an end. Future Forum has worked with the Globe and we have been absolutely pleased with the quality of their work and professionalism of their staff.
It is with a heavy heart that today we announce the suspension of editorial operations at Southeast Asia Globe, taking effect at the end of September. Please take a moment to read the message from our team and how we came to this decision.

Clearly he’ll stay very much involved, but this still feels like the end of an era. An important period for #Cambodia, with massive challenges to navigate and opportunities too. #political #transition #history
