Project Description
Persons with non-traditional gender identities or sexual orientations face barriers to participation in many regions of Chile. Movilh provides technical assistance to communities in Los Lagos, Valparaíso, Bio Bio and Maule to develop awareness of the rights of this marginalized population and offers financial support to facilitate collaboration among related community organizations. At the IAF, we support community-led solutions to strengthen social and economic inclusion in Chile. Movilh’s activities strengthen communities through education and training and build peer-to-peer learning and action networks.
