Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute and Triangle Project (South Africa) are looking for a fellow in Triangle’s Research, Advocacy and Policy Programme for a 6-month contract (which may be renewed subject to funder commitments and performance) to produce a research publication on political participation of LGBTI people in South Africa.
Triangle Project (Triangle) and the Gay & Lesbian Victory Institute (Victory) are commissioning this report as part of their work to learn how to increase political participation of LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex) people in South Africa.
The overall purpose of the research paper is to have an overview of the current situation of the political participation of LGBTI people in South Africa and identify entry points for this work with political parties and State institutions, to help inform our work.
