Dear APTN friends,

APTN will be attending the ILGA World 2022 Conference that will take place on 2-6 May 2022 at the Los Angeles Long Beach, California, United States! We have been sending out a survey for those who are based and work in the Asia Pacific to meet and connect with us at the event. Please note that this is not a registration for ILGA World Conference 2022, but rather a registration for the networking event inside the ILGA World Conference 2022, hosted by APTN.

At the ILGA World 2022 Conference, we will lead 3 workshop sessions on 5 & 6 May to address trans issues during the pandemic, conversion therapy, and decolonising the United Nations. You can see our session details inside this newsletter as well as another hiring opportunity within the section.

See you at the ILGA World 2022 Conference soon!
