RFSL, the Swedish Federation for LGBTQI rights, has launched the call for applications for the fourth cycle of the Rainbow Advocacy Program 2024 – 2025. Applications were released in December 2023 are open until 10 March 2024.
RAP is a 13-month-long fellowship for LGBTIQ+ activists from the Global South and East to learn, network, collaborate and gain hands-on experience in UN advocacy.
The program is visionary as well as unique in its approach as it combines both the human rights and the development frameworks, with the latter focusing on the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
The fellows will have the opportunity to put into practice their knowledge by engaging with UN mechanisms in Geneva (HRC) and New York (HLPF), as well as by developing and implementing a funded 8-month-long advocacy project. In addition, they will be matched with a mentor for expert support throughout the fellowship and project implementation.
LGBTQI activists who have basic knowledge about international human rights mechanisms, have 1-3 years of advocacy experience, and belong to an LGBTIQ organization are the primary target groups for this program.
So far RFSL has implemented three cycles of the program with a total of 55 extraordinary fellows, who have termed the program as a life-changing experience.
Please share widely so that the call reaches the most deserving candidates.
