September in Paraguay is not just another month on the calendar, but a period filled with meaning. It’s the Month of Memory, a time dedicated to remembering and honoring those who have fought for the rights and visibility of the LGBTIQ+ community. In a country where the struggle for diversity and inclusion has faced numerous challenges, remembering is a form of resistance, a way to not forget, and to pave the path towards a more equitable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acknowledging the depth of this month, we launch a communication campaign that aims not only to remember but also to make visible the diverse experiences of the LGBTIQ+ community throughout Paraguay. But our mission is not limited to the virtual world; during the month, we also organize in-person activities to strengthen ties with the community, understanding that occupying public spaces is more than a symbolic act \u2013 it is a tangible form of resistance and affirmation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We share experiences from various people in the community, particularly highlighting those stories that come from outside Asunci\u00f3n to reflect true diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We begin our campaign by recalling the story behind the number 108 with Ash, a student and activist from Encarnaci\u00f3n. Later, Amar\u00fa shared about the challenges faced by the LGBTIQ+ community in rural areas of Paraguay. Kimberly, the first trans lawyer from Ciudad del Este, emphasized the urgency of laws that guarantee the rights of the trans community in Paraguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
