Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World

Kaleidoscope Trusts 5th Annual Gala Dinner will take place on Thursday 26 January 2017 at The Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill, Portman Square, London. Funds raised at our Gala Dinners have allowed us to continue to engage with courageous activists campaigning for the human rights of LGBT people, often at great personal risk around the world. In 2016 we supported over 35 LGBT organisations in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean who are urging leaders of Commonwealth countries to defend the rights of all their citizens. We speak out loud when we need to. But we also work behind the scenes, looking to persuade governments that access to healthcare, education and employment for their LGBT citizens is not just their human right but also in the national interest of the countries of which they are citizens. At home, we have continued to engage with Parliamentarians, now utilising the All Party Parliamentary Group on Global LGBT Rights which has grown out of the Parliamentary Friends of the Kaleidoscope Trust. Following changes in leadership after the election we have re-engaged with the Department for International Development and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to ensure that Britain does all it can to support the global struggle against discrimination and criminalisation based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
