Rising attacks from far right a pre-conference topic
The PSA’s Out@PSA network welcomes participants
arriving in New Zealand for next week’s 2019 World
Conference of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) in
Wellington.
"This Sunday (17 March) we are looking
forward to co-hosting a pre-conference gathering
specifically for LGBTI trade union activists and working
class allies," says Caleb Gorden, Out@PSA network
convenor.
"One of the issues that our one day World of
Work pre-conference will cover is the rise of organised hate
groups and the violent impact they have.
"There will be
a focus on formulating an action plan to build collaborative
opportunities for things like combatting rising attacks from
the Right".
ILGA is an international organisation with
representing the interests of more than 1300 LGBTI groups
from around the world.
The ILGA World Conference
coincides with the annual Wellington Pride Festival | Tū
Whakahīhī e Te
Whanganui-ā-Tara.
