Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We asked; What does Pride mean to you as an LGBTQ+ person living in Uganda, and how has that meaning been shaped by your experiences Pride to me means surviving in a world that was seemingly not built for me and still choosing to live authentically. After being outed, I learnt how quickly acceptance can disappear. But also I learned how powerful community, resilience, and self-love can be. Pride is a reminder that despite every attempt to silence us, we are still here, still worthy and still dreaming of a better future. Arnie Yana✨

“Foreign agents” laws are spreading globally. Often framed as transparency, they stigmatise NGOs, restrict funding and silence criticism. When civil society is labelled a threat, democracy shrinks. Read this #EUSEE article for more: eusee.hivos.org/foreign-agen… #HumanRights
