This event invites you into a vital, rarely-heard conversation with Fabian Frank-Kagimu, Executive Director of PRISM Empowerment and Development Initiatives (PEDI Uganda) a trans-led, grassroots organisation working on the frontlines of this reality.
Fabian will be talking to us live via video call in conversation with a facilitator passionate about global justice speaking about other areas of the world where being LBGTQIA+ is criminalised. They will share powerful stories into what it means to exist in a country that criminalises your existence, and how queer people survive and resist in contexts shaped by crisis, criminalisation and displacement.
Why This Matters:
Because being LGBTQIA+ should not be a death sentence.
Because queerness in some parts of the world is still illegal.
Because many people have little exposure to what queer life looks like in parts of the world where it’s dangerous to be queer
About PEDI Uganda:
PRISM Empowerment and Development Initiatives (PEDI Uganda) supports transgender women in Uganda through holistic, life-saving work:
Mental health services: free counselling, therapy, and support groupsEmergency aid: food, shelter, and crisis support for trans people under threat
Economic empowerment: business training, innovation, and sustainable livelihoods
Advocacy & visibility: pushing for the inclusion of trans people in national and global frameworks
Their impact has reached over 200 trans women through frontline care, trauma-informed services, and visibility in spaces where queer voices are often erased.
Who is this event for?
This event is for those who care about LBGTQIA+ liberation, global solidarity, and justice. Whether you’re LGBTQIA+, a human rights advocate, a student, or someone seeking to understand more, this space is for you.
Expect truth and heart. Come with curiosity, leave with a deeper understanding of the realities queer people face across different cultural, legal, and political landscapes.
This isn’t just a conversation. It’s an invitation to witness, to feel, and to respond. To see how queerness is criminalised in some corners of the world, and how community still rises.
