About Episode 35

We recognize Trans Day of Visibility (TDoV) by speaking to one of our own, Jannat Ali, Co-Chair, GAC Board Member, Co-Chair, Human Rights & Diversity. We talked to Jannat during Sydney WorldPride 2023 about what she wanted the community to take away from the Human Rights Conference: the success of passing a pro-LGBTQIA+ bill, especially from a country like Pakistan, and how she’s handling anti-Trans attacks.
Listen in as we hear from Jannat Ali from Pakistan!
