Other News/Updates

APTN has developed a social media campaign officially releasing the results of the 2019 Denied Work report conducted in partnership with Curtin University, and supported by UNDP’s Being LGBTI in Asia and the Pacific programme.

This Social Media Tool Kit contains graphics and recommended copy that can be used on social media, to highlight the inequalities discovered in the Denied Work study when it comes to the employment of trans and gender diverse individuals in Southeast Asia.

For each country-specific day, we have both English and translated graphics available. If anyone would like to help translate the other posts into your local language, please reach out to Cole at cole.young@weareaptn.org.

We invite you to join us in this campaign.

The fourth and final session in the #SkillsforChange: Public Campaigning for Advocacy and Social Change online workshop series commenced on 21 August 2020 and looked at digital security and safety in the context of public campaigning. This session was done in partnership with Point of View, a non-profit based out of Mumbai, India, which works at the intersections of gender, sexuality, technology, digital rights, and digital security. Point of View’s work at this intersection is in the form of research, input into policy spaces, on ground workshops on digital rights and digital security, and publications at the intersection of sexuality, gender, and technology.
