SPLGBTQI+ Program (Oct 2024 – Sep 2025)

The SPLGBTQI+ Project is dedicated to strengthening community resilience and promoting mental health among transgender and LGBTQI+ individuals. Through inclusive public events and safe spaces, the program fosters visibility, solidarity, education, and suicide prevention.

Below are examples of events and initiatives under this program:

Self-Defence Workshops

Purpose: To empower LGBTQI+ individuals with safety and confidence.
Activities: Practical self-defence training, role-play simulations, safety strategy discussions, and legal rights awareness.
Impact: Builds resilience, reduces vulnerability to violence and harassment, and supports mental health.

Pride Parades & Festivals

Purpose: To celebrate diversity and create platforms for visibility and acceptance.
