NETWORK OF LESBIAN AND BISEXUAL WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Our Mission
CORPORACIÓN RED LESLAC is a feminist, associative, regional and intersectional platform that articulates and strengthens lesbian and LBQTNB AFAN organizations and collectives in Latin America and the Caribbean, and individuals who identify themselves as lesbians and/or LBQTNB AFAN persons, to confront inequalities, discrimination and violence and to defend human rights. We promote regional articulation, technical and political capacity building, leadership, political coordination, strategic advocacy in national, regional and international Human Rights Mechanisms and in multilateral spaces, to transform the conditions that reproduce discrimination and violence, and to sustain, affirm and protect intersectional lesbian activisms and strengthen community power in the region.
Our Vision
In five years, CORPORACIÓN RED LESLAC will be a consolidated regional platform, with participatory governance, institutional sustainability and technical and political capacity to effectively influence national, regional and international human rights frameworks. It will be a reference in the defense and positioning of intersectional lesbian agendas, in the protection of activism and in the strengthening of the community power of lesbians and LBQTNB AFAN people in Latin America and the Caribbean.
About LESLAC
LESLAC's path has not been short or smooth, we have invested a lot of work and hopes and in March 2023 we held our first Annual General Assembly - AGOA in the city of Villavicencio, Colombia, during which we adopted the network's statutes, the governance manual and other organizational management tools that provide structure and certainty to the network and its member organizations.
As you read, on this road we have met many Latin American compañeras and we will continue to meet many more, and hopefully we can continue to coincide with you in our journey.
