The 2022 report provides compelling evidence of change and growth in the LGBTQI movement in West Africa in an increasingly complex social, political, economic, and security context, as well as the current state of funding in the region.
Originally published in 2016, We Exist provides an overview of LGBTQ organizing in nine West African countries through 2016, drawing on the perspectives and experiences of local activists and organizations, and highlighting challenges and opportunities.
