QAWSUNA 2.0 is here!
Join Us at QAWSUNA 2.0: A Regional Summit for LGBTIQ+ Activists in NAWA!

Are you an LGBTIQ+ activist, advocate, or ally from North Africa and West Asia (NAWA)?

Do you want to connect with like-minded changemakers, strategize for collective action, and build resilience amid rising challenges in our region?

Following the powerful momentum of our 2024 summit in Kathmandu, Qawsuna returns in 2025 with a larger, safer, and more inclusive regional gathering. Together, we’ll reflect, organize, and mobilize to advance LGBTIQ+ rights across NAWA.

What to expect:
  • Skill-building workshops on legal aid, digital security & mental health
  • Regional advocacy strategy sessions
  • Networking & coalition-building
  • Expanded travel scholarships & accessibility support
  • Multilingual facilitation (Arabic, English, French)
Summit Dates: 27- 31 October 2025
