Children's Rights and SOGIESC

Children with diverse SOGIESC (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics) face discrimination and exclusion long before adulthood. While child rights organizations and LGBTQI movements share a vision of safety and equality, their advocacies have traditionally operated in separate spheres. Project PRIDE was conceived to bridge these movements, promoting the protection and inclusion of children with diverse SOGIESC in policies, programs, and community interventions in Quezon City and Malabon City (2023–2025). Within this framework, the Learning Team was established as a pioneering mechanism for mutual learning and collaboration between LGBTQI and child rights organizations.
