LATEST: Alofa Initiative Launch
The Alofa Initiative is a grassroots initiative that advocates for the human rights of youth with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions and sex characteristics (SOGIESC).
As a youth organisation, we believe in and advocate for equal access to safety, respect, safe housing, accessible health care, dignified employment, and emotional and mental wellbeing for all youth. The Alofa Initiative is a direct response to the higher risks, displacement, and hardship faced by youth with diverse SOGIESC in Samoa.
