We, IGLYO — The International Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Trans, Queer and Intersex Youth and Student Organisation, are the leading youth development and leadership organisation working with LGBTQI young activists. With over 115 Member Organisations situated in 40 countries in the Council of Europe region, we unite a great variety of individual and community experiences. You can learn more about IGLYO at www.iglyo.org.
LGBTQI youth in the Council of Europe region hail from diverse ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds. IGLYO is aware of the intertwined realities of racism, LGBTQI-phobia, sexism, classism, ableism, and ageism that are part of the lived experiences of LGBTQI youth of colour. Therefore, we have started our journey to understand several issues concerning racial equality and racial justice in LGBTQI youth activism.
To aid us with this matter, we are looking for a consultant who can conduct qualitative research to explore the experiences of BIPOC* and racialised LGBTQI youth entering activism spaces.
This research aims to assess the barriers that young people encounter when accessing activist spaces and explore how to make these spaces more inclusive for everyone. The consultant should be able to:
