They are a global network of women who support women networking for social change and women's empowerment, through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs). They promote gender equality in the design, development, implementation, access to and use of ICTs, and in the policy decisions and frameworks that regulate them. For campaign information, visit: www.takebackthetech.net Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans (LGBT) History MonthCelebrate LGBT History month. February of each year has been set aside in the UK to mark and celebrate the lives and achievements of Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Trans people. LGBT History Month is an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the histories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Britain and Northern Ireland.
Until recently, most LGBT people preferred to avoid attention. Many still do. Even today, the penalties for those who refuse to conceal themselves, or fail to do so, can be severe. They can range from ostracism and victimisation to assault and even murder. For more info, visit: www.lgbthistorymonth.org.uk |
