Please join the Council for Global Equality and the Open Society Foundations for a reception in recognition of Frank Mugisha and the other human rights defenders who have fought tirelessly for LGBTI equality in Uganda.
Frank Mugisha is the 2011 recent recipient of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award and serves as the executive director of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), a leading organization of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex movement in the country.
The event will also feature photographs by Tadej Žnidarčič and Bénédicte Desrus on LGBTI rights in Uganda, from the Open Society Foundations Moving Walls exhibition.
