The Africa-Canada International Convention on Human Rights Promotion 2025

The African Center for Refuges in Ontario Canada is pleased to present to you the 3rd Africa-Canada International Convention on Human Rights Promotion. An international platform that will connect 2SLGBTIQ+ people from across Africa and Canada to discuss the Human Rights challenges our communities face in our unique yet very often intersectional contexts.

The convention will bring together 2SLGBTIQ+ activists, allies, young leaders, scholars, notable human rights defenders, legal and health practitioners from Africa and those in Canada to formulate a way forward on advancing the rights of 2SLGBTIQ+ people, learning practically from Canada’s success story, pulling synergies amongst the members of the 2SLGBTIQ+ movement with potential partners, and creating awareness on an international platform about the risks faced by LGBTIQ+ people across the African continent and very often when they move to other countries to seek asylum.
