Gender and Sexuality Activism is a key area of focus for HuMENA, highlighting the organization’s commitment to championing gender equality and the rights of LGBTQ+ communities within the MENA region. This theme confronts the entrenched discrimination, violence, and societal norms that undermine the rights and dignity of individuals based on their gender or sexual orientation. HuMENA endeavors to challenge these injustices through advocacy for legal reforms, societal acceptance, and the empowerment of marginalized communities. By providing education and advocacy tools, HuMENA aims to elevate the voices of those often sidelined in discussions of human rights and social justice, advocating for their rights and well-being.

In addition to public advocacy, HuMENA produces specialized guides and toolkits designed to deepen understanding and engagement with gender and sexuality issues. Collaborating with both local and diaspora communities, HuMENA works to build transnational networks that support advocacy for gender and LGBTQ+ rights, reinforcing the importance of solidarity and collective action in driving social change. Training programs further equip activists with the skills to effectively challenge gender-based discrimination and support LGBTQ+ rights, ensuring that the movement for gender equality in the MENA region is informed, inclusive, and resilient.
