Meet a Grantee: Sappho for Equality (Kolkata, India)
With a focus on services, advocacy and education, Sappho has educated and organized over 2,000 people through the Chetana Sexuality Center, the only lesbian-led sexual rights resource and organizing center in West Bengal. Sappho also collaborated with fellow Astraea grantee-partner Pratyay Gender Trust to hold the first-ever LGBTIQ film and video festival and has provided crucial support to a nascent underground LBT group in the region.
