The Fight for LGBTQI+ Human Rights Throughout the World

Description: Join us for a groundbreaking event featuring Oscar-nominated filmmaker David France (Welcome to Chechnya, How to Survive a Plague) and Kimahli Powell, former CEO of Rainbow Railroad who has led efforts to rescue LGBTQI+ individuals from regions like Chechnya, Egypt, and Afghanistan. They will be joined by Kasha Jacqueline Nabagesera, the pioneering Ugandan LGBTQI+ activist who has fought homophobia in her country for over two decades under constant threat, and Saro Imran, a transgender activist from Pakistan who, after surviving a brutal mob attack, is now dedicated to advancing trans rights in Pakistan.


This discussion will be moderated by Timothy Patrick McCarthy, Faculty Chair of the Global LGBTQI+ Human Rights Program at the Carr Center.
