Queer Justice, Peace and Security Community of Practice
The Queer Justice, Peace, and Security (Queer JPS) Community of Practice connects activists and organizations working on women's and/or LGBTQIA+ rights, with a focus on Justice, accountability, humanitarian emergency response and peacebuilding in conflict-affected and post-conflict contexts. The group consists of members with diverse perspectives and approaches to the field. Members commit to working respectfully and hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. The Queer JPS Community of Practice is inclusive of trans and non-binary individuals and works to uplift marginalized voices and promote intersectional dialogue, ensuring that all gender identities and sexual orientations are respected.
