Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/eHhjaDxD Research on intersectionality in public administration reveals the diversity of marginalized groups and provides greater understanding of the ways intersecting identities influence inter- and intra-communal relationships. This article highlights the nuances that exist at the intersection of LGBTQIA and Jewish identities and how intersectionality can inform public service and engagement with minoritized populations in public and nonprofit organizations. The authors use LGBTQIA Jewish communities to construct four tenets of intersectionality—multiple and mutually constitutive identities, dynamic processes in managing multiple identities, discrimination within identities, and intersectional organizations—and discuss their relevance to public administration. #NonprofitAdvocacyLab #Research #UF #FriendsoftheLab

Globally, we are seeing well-coordinated and funded efforts to threaten, attack, and deny the human rights of women, girls, and LGBTQI communities. The Reconstruction Women’s Fund (RWF) of Serbia has seen a spike in anti-gender politics and narratives in 2022, which has led to increased violence against the LGBTQI community and a crackdown on sexual education in schools. In response, the RWF has taken a two pronged approach-emergency support and advocacy.  Our partners, like Rekonstrukcija ženski fond / Reconstruction Women's Fund, are responding to this backlash, see how https://lnkd.in/gnmVY-_p

How is Llamau supporting women in Wales? Many of the women we support in our gender-specific services would not be able to access domestic abuse refuges because they are not currently experiencing domestic abuse. However, generic temporary accommodation is not appropriate for them because they have often experienced gender-based abuse or violence in the past. Our gender-specific services have been set up for women who would not be comfortable in a mixed-gender environment. We treat women as women first and address the complex difficulties that they face in their lives. We provide a tailored, holistic package of support for each individual, which builds on women's strengths, enabling them to lead independent, self-determined lives. We support women in various housing projects, including 24-hour staffed temporary accommodation and self-contained units within our project houses and flats in the community.

LGBTQIA youth are 120 percent more likely than non-LGBTQIA youth to experience homelessness. What's more, shelters and other services are not often designed to support young people or LGBTQIA people, which means LGBTQIA youth face unique barriers to getting the support they need when experiencing housing instability. Learn more from National Coalition for the Homeless about solutions to better support these young people. https://lnkd.in/gjHAhGEy

🌟 Exciting News from SGM Alliance 🌟 We are thrilled to share the first video in our four-part series, a project that has taken over a year to bring to life! 🎥✨ Hear from our Founder, Jessica Brescher, MPH: "Unfortunately, we don't know how representative our clinical studies are because we don't collect data on sexual orientation, gender identity, or intersex status of our patients. If we don't collect this data, it becomes a hidden population... We're not seeing our patients as whole people. If we can really see the whole patient and tailor treatment FOR that patient across different lines of diversity, then we will have better health outcomes for everyone." This is a big deal! By acknowledging and addressing this gap, we are taking a monumental step towards more inclusive and effective healthcare for all. Every piece of data helps us understand our patients better, ensuring that no one is left behind. Together, we can make a difference. Join us in supporting more fair and equal access to healthcare by signing this petition: https://chng.it/rfQfy69hH7 🖊️📢 Consider making a donation to support our advocacy efforts and drive real change. Stay tuned for more! #SGMAlliance #SexualandGenderMinorities #StopTheCopyPaste #STDsAreNotMyOnlyHealthConcerns #LGBTQIA #ClinicalResearch #HealthEquity

We know it's after the fact but for us it still bears announcing: Sunday was International Non-Binary People’s Day! We at A Way Home America understand the impacts of the gender binary in our societies, and we know that it simply is not an expansive-enough construct to apply to persons/peoples in the world.  Our mission explicitly names LGBTQIA folks (among others) as a target audience for which we want to end and prevent homelessness. Additionally, some of our Core Principles are to 1) Recognize and Center Intersectionality & 2) Shift Power to Youth and Young Adults. The intersectional youth we work with deserve to lead the work that impacts them in the Homelessness Movement. Despite which letter in the acronym you feel you fall into (or don’t), we want you to know that we SEE you and we are here to support you in our mission, as a non-binary person. Happy visibility and strength to all of our non-binary neighbors, friends, and co-conspirators! A Way Home America’s mission is to transform systems through public policy to prevent and end homelessness for Black, Indigenous, youth of color, and LGBTQIA youth, on a path to housing justice for all. www.AWayHomeAmerica.org #endyouthhomelessness #nonbinary #homeless #homelessyouth #housingisahumanright

The terrible fact is that history shows us that women, children, and LGBT people face a particularly high threat of violence during armed conflicts, where violence against women, including sexual violence, increases exponentially. Feminist-led groups are critical partners and act as bridges in times of crisis because they work with and within the communities that they serve, and, as a result, deploy money faster to local solutions that impact everyone. It’s critical to get emergency humanitarian aid as well as long-term rebuilding efforts into communities by funding groups that center women and girls in each region’s recovery.
