HIV & Pandemic: EXPO at the Human Rights Conference in Sydney 2023.
As part of our national and international level collaboration, ZE Project took part in the HIV & Pandemic EXPO at the Human Rights Conference in Sydney 2023. One of the major objectives of the ZE Project is to reduce stigma and discrimination against the Hijra, Transgender, Intersex, and Gender Diverse persons living in Bangladesh so that we can create a well-accepted workplace and society for them. The society in Bangladesh has been stigmatizing this community for many years as the reason for spreading HIV & AIDS and excluding them to access from many basic rights including employment opportunities. To address this issue, ZE Project showcased a photo series in the HIV & Pandemic: EXPO at the Human Rights Conference in Sydney 2023 where we portrayed how the health-related stigmas make barriers for the Hijra, Transgender, Intersex, and Gender Diverse persons in every phase of their life and making deep scars in their life. We would like to express our gratitude to the organizers for giving us this opportunity to bring our voices to the global level.
