Strategic Initiatives

Combatting Homophobic Laws

We are working on two areas in this initiative: the  decriminalisation of same-sex relationships in five countries, and the countering of so-called anti-LGBTI propaganda laws.

Our grantees work on advocacy and legislative change. In some contexts, we also support art projects that help shift public narratives,  building support for change.

 

Community Cohesion in the UK 

This initiative targets violence and extremism, promoting trust, hope and reciprocity in UK communities.

Our grantees try to reduce extremism by addressing social polarisation, deprivation, and community decline, fostering greater cohesion and belonging.

 

Reparations for Victims of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine

Our aim is to advance access to restitutions for Ukrainian survivors and to strengthen the recognition and protection of their rights.

Our grantees focus on access to reparations for survivors of conflict-related violence (including sexual violence), and advocating for policy and legal reforms to increase the financial accountability of perpetrators, including the use of seized assets for reparative purposes. These efforts include coordinated advocacy in Ukraine and at the international level, technical support, litigation, and campaigning.

More information will be shared on these initiatives as they evolve.
