Meet a Grantee: Al-Qaws for sexual and gender diversity is the Palestinian society (Jerusalem, Israel)
Al-Qaws plays a pivotal role in building an open Palestinian society that respects the diversity and humanity of all. It raises awareness and challenges misconceptions about LGBTQI people among professional and social groups through an educational booklet and in-depth educational programming. In collaboration with Aswat, the only Palestinian LBTI women’s organization in the Middle East, it launched the first and only national Palestinian LGBTQI support line.
