In 2015, Oxfam’s partners set up LGBTI associations in nine cities and provinces across Vietnam
Together, these groups provide an opportunity for LGBTI people to collectively discuss how they can best promote and protect their rights within their communities. The groups also contribute to research, campaigning and policy advocacy, thereby amplifying the voice of LGBTI people in the public arena.
Through research and advocacy, Oxfam and partners promote better understanding of the needs and rights of LGBTI people among National Assembly members, other policy makers, provincial authorities, service providers and the media.
To support a broad public movement that supports and accepts LGBTI rights, Oxfam, iSEE, and ICS are holding a number of nationwide activities, including public campaigns, celebration of Pride events and the involvement of celebrities, opinion makers and university students as ambassadors and strong public supporters of LGBTI rights./.
