Advocacy

GEM works on advocating LGBTQIA+ rights at social, diplomatic, and political levels. Through the findings of its Research and Monitoring department, GEM will launch advocacy campaigns with media and actors in the Syrian context. This will raise awareness around both emerging and persisting issues, helping to combat stigma, prejudice, and discrimination faced by Syrian LGBTQIA+ communities. GEM will also support these communities through political participation and advocate for constitutional rights for LGBTQIA+ people, aiming to bolster the international and local mobilization for the recognition and protection of the rights of Syrian LGBTQIA+ Individuals, communities, and rights defenders.
