Mobilised LGBTI movement
LGBTI organisations need to cooperate to reach their joint goals, while also respecting their diversity.

It is when they are linked to non-LGBTI stakeholders and to broader civil society organisations that change becomes possible in society.

“Support from the broader civil society is essential to create change. This requires networks and collaboration with non-LGBTI stakeholders” (Letter S in the graphic below)
