DATE 7 May 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has shaken civilisation to its core. Whenever there is a crisis, minorities always get the shorter end of the stick. The LGBTQ+ community is no exception and the discrimination and difficulties they experience may have been heightened by this crisis. The webinar aims to raise awareness about these issues.

Speakers will also discuss aspects of family law and women’s issues and how these are interrelated with LGBTQ+ issues. Talking points will revolve around issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community, the mechanisms in place addressing such issues, and ways individuals may help and extend assistance.
