Grupo Conexao G de Cidadania LGBT

About The Connection G Group of LGBT Citizenship in Favelas has been operating since 2006 with the mission of fighting to guarantee, promote, implement and expand public policies on human rights, health, education and public security for LGBT living in these territories. The Group was created by young people who aimed to raise awareness and reflect on homosexuality, lesbianism, transvestite, transsexuality and bisexuality in slums, in order to minimize the prejudices experienced by these segments. The organization combines activities to promote human rights and influence public policies to promote citizenship, based on dialogue with all sectors of civil society and public authorities. The practice areas cover topics such as human rights, gender equity, sexual rights and reproductive rights
