Millennium Fellowship Project: Project PrismParity
PrismParity is a global initiative advocating for equality of the gender and sexual minorities (GSM), operating under the 5th Sustainable Development Goal of Gender Equality, and in collaboration with UNAI 6: Human Rights. It is dedicated towards bridging the gap between the GSM community and their access to freedom of opinion, speech, and opportunity in the local and the larger picture. PrismParity functions as a hybrid global project, collaborating with students and NGOs to operate in two main facets: Volumes and Voices. Under its first facet, the project aims to host donation drives facilitated through its online networks and collaborating institutions, aimed at securing effective donations for an NGO working for the welfare of the GSM communities. Under its second facet, the project will diversify into dynamic speaker sessions and sensitization seminars and workshops, giving a platform for people from within the community to let their lived experiences be heard and in that process, help build a safe space for more members to partake and find their voices.
