Indian Organizations Creating Safe Spaces for the Queer Community
In a country like ours, where queer rights are hardly recognized and the LGBTQIA+ community faces regular discrimination and at times abuse, it is comforting to know that there are groups of people who not only provide safe spaces but also fight for the rights of the queer through legal, political, medical, economic and social avenues.
