Background
Free to Be Me (F2BM) is a 5-year program implemented in 12 countries in 5 different regions. This program, which is funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been running since 2021. The 4 major objectives that will be achieved F2BM by 2025 are strengthening CoA in each country, public support, policy changes and economic empowerment which LGBTIQ+ community as a rightsholders. F2BM as a global program consists of 6 organizations as consortium members, namely Hivos, Global Interfaith Network, ILGA Word, Positive vibes, Sogicampaigns and Workplace Pride.
Free to be Me puts LGBTIQ+ people and their organizations in the driving seat. Local LGBTIQ+ organizations are best placed to indicate their needs, opportunities and risks. Enabling them to effectively lobby and advocate for their rights is our best chance to achieve a long-lasting impact. This is what makes our program unique: we bring the principles of local ownership, gender equality, diversity, and inclusion into practice.
As part of this, the program also centers safety and security as one of its key deliverables and principles. This refers to ensuring that the rightsholders the program works with, as well as the teams implementing the program execute (and are supported to execute) their work in a manner that safeguards themselves, the F2BM Alliance, and the program as a whole.
With the deteriorating safety and security situation in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, F2BM is setting up additional safety and security interventions from two spin-off projects in the 3 countries.
