Voice of the Voiceless (VOVO) is a feminist collective of LBT activists working to challenge attitudes, beliefs and norms that exclude lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LBTI) communities from having their voices heard and affirming their human rights. At the heart of their strategy is cultural change that starts with the community and builds out towards other marginalized communities, incorporating LBTI needs and experiences into feminist movement agendas and shifting the norms upon which larger societal structures are based. At the community level, they run Solidarity Circles, which are learning and support spaces for LBTI people to come together and hold dialogues on feminism, rights, access to justice and experiences of stigma and discrimination. They also host advocacy training workshops and what they call Creative Expression Sessions to provide artistic outlets for LBTI self-expression through forms of art such as painting and storytelling, as well as cross-movement intersectionality dialogues with groups representing a diversity of marginalized women, including sex workers, women with disabilities and others.
