WCAPSisOut
WCAPS LGBTQIA+ Initiative
ABOUT
WCAPSisOut has a unique opportunity to highlight and discuss relevant and timely issues concerning LGBTQIA+ women and gender diverse persons of color in the peace and security field, as well as the need for greater diversity of thought within the multi-faceted national security sphere. While we aim to engage in discussions and dialogue surrounding the community and our rights, our goal is to also provide a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community to convene and build a strong foundation and support for navigating the public and private sectors safely and effectively.
