Event Overview:
Nearly three months into the U.S. foreign aid freeze, its consequences are becoming increasingly dire for global health systems and LGBTQI+ communities around the world. As billions in funding remain stalled, frontline organizations are grappling with resource shortages, disrupted services, and mounting threats to human rights.
Join us for a discussion examining the far-reaching implications of the aid freeze, featuring global advocates and experts working at the intersection of LGBTQI+ rights and international development.
