Securing human rights for lesbians throughout Africa

Comprised of organizations from eleven African countries, the Coalition of African Lesbians (CAL) is the first non-governmental organization in Africa to work for the equality of lesbians at a continental level. In response to a climate of staggering violence targeting lesbians and gay men throughout the continent, CAL has worked with the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights to challenge homophobic rhetoric and policy, and to incorporate LGBT rights into the African human rights platform. CAL’s acclaimed annual Leadership Institutes hone the ideas and skills of lesbians, feminists, gender activists and academics across the continent. www.cal.org.za
