Pride Month is a celebration of the vibrant tapestry of identities within the LGBTQI+ community. It's also a moment to reflect on the significant strides made towards greater acceptance and protection of their rights. Yet, as we celebrate, we must acknowledge the work that remains to ensure the health, well-being, and dignity of LGBTQI+ individuals worldwide.

UNFPA is committed to ensuring that communities are at the heart of disaster preparedness efforts in the Philippines. To achieve this, we are conducting dialogues across the country to learn from the diverse experiences of women, men, young people, indigenous peoples, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other vulnerable groups.
