Founded in 2021, SEEN for Gender & Sexual Equity (SGSE) is a non-governmental organization spearheaded by a passionate team of LGBTQIA+ activists and allies.
Empowering Syria's LGBTQIA+ Community
We dedicate ourselves to the LGBTQIA+ community in Syria, offering a platform for queer activists and allies to express themselves without fear. Our non-discriminatory safe space nurtures dialogue among queer and feminist activists, exploring avenues for justice and equality for the Syrian queer community across legal, social, medical, and cultural dimensions.
Advocating Rights and Raising Awareness
Our unwavering belief in the necessity of a rights-based, awareness-oriented safe space paves the way for LGBTQIA+ members to delve into advocacy, media campaigns, sexual health, digital security, sexual and gender identities, civil rights, and citizenship. Our paramount objective is to elevate collective awareness among Syrians, aiming to liberate the LGBTQIA+ community from constraining laws and establish robust mechanisms to navigate our LGBTQIA+ struggle in Syria.
Our advocacy adopts a structural approach, recognising and mitigating our differences and experiences while honoring the struggles of those who have previously contributed to the Syrian queer community.
