LGBTQI rights in Thailand: Mobilizing support during COVID19

The idea of Thailand as an inclusive “paradise” for the LGBTQI community was shattered during COVID-19 says Atlantic Fellow Midnight Poonkasetwattana. Watch to find out he used a Solidarity Grant to mobilize 23 community organizations, polling 1400 people to discover what grassroots support the LGBTQI community and those living with HIV needed.
The project was so successful that countries in the region have asked Midnight to share his template, empowering local communities to use their data, own their data, and tailor effective responses to local needs.
Midnight Poonkasetwattana is an Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity in Southeast Asia. He is part of a global community of Atlantic Fellows that exists to tackle the persistent inequalities across the globe through collective action.
