End SGBV NOW!
Walk away when you feel threatened...
CHADALA champions for an end to SGBV with a focus on LBQ women who are vulnerable and highly discriminated upon because of our sexual orientation, gender identity and expression(SOGIE). Many of us are survivors of SGBV with lived stories to tell. Most of us have been subjected to corrective rape, forced marriages, unintended pregnancy, domestic violence, blackmail, possible forced eviction, unlawful arrest etc which in turn has led to a rise in mental health conditions, drugs and substance abuse.

Sexual minority women continue to face violence, stigma and discrimination from loved ones and the society at large. CHADALA advocates for the rights of sexual minority women living in the rural and informal settlements, who are unlawfully violated, misrepresented and are less informed about their fundamental human rights. We need a safe, more empowered and inclusive world free from violence, stigma and discrimination due to actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI). It's time to #BreakTheBias👇
