IEHA
Not the Issue
It is not the issue that is the issue. It is how YOU relate to the issue
Your Example
The world is changed by your example and not by your opinion
Exclusion
YOU begin hatred, exclusion and oppression by being judgmental and discriminatory

We envision a world where freedoms and dignity are attained for all; a world where social justice is an achievable reality for Intersex people, LGBTQ persons, Sex workers, African women and girls. Our push is for the growth of a non-judgmental, non-discriminatory society where organizations such as IEHA are a choice and not a necessity…a society where empathy towards fellow humans comes naturally, as you would expect.

About IEHA
WHO WE ARE
We are principally a rights defense organization focusing on the creation and provision of resources, giving a united voice to common challenges, identifying opportunities, responding to threats and fortifying our platform for advancing the rights of the LGBTIQ community.
WHAT WE DO
The bedrock around which IEHA was founded was the idea of protecting and rebuilding lives of social minority groups, especially the most vulnerable ones who have become targets of discrimination and exclusion. Our safe homes/Shelters have thus become our mainstay. Secondly, we run a functioning media department that caters for documentation in the form storytelling through documentaries, interviews, articles and short stories
