May 11, 2022 Chechnya: The Gay Purge
With all the media focused on Ukraine, the LGBT attacks in nearby countries have been hidden from sight. Chechnya rose to prominence when rumours began to surface in 2017 of a “gay purge”. It was extremely hard at the time for international media to verify what was actually going on as victims either disappeared or were too afraid to speak out.
We now know that what was going on was a purge – a liquidation – of the LGBT community with the full knowledge and perhaps even participation of the Chechnyan government. There were reports of LGBT people being rounded up, tortured and even being shamed then released to their families who were encouraged to commit so-called “honour killings”.
Oscar nominated film Director, David France, went undercover in Chechnya to capture these harrowing stories – and the inspirational efforts of the LGBT activists who risked their lives to save them. The documentary – Welcome to Chechnya: The Gay Purge – will show next month here at the Victorian Pride Centre as a fundraiser for Kaleidoscope Australia.

May 04, 2022 Exploring the Terminology of our Diverse Community
Homosexual, gay, queer, lesbian, dandy, Two Spirit, SOGI, Friends of Dorothy, Fa’afafine, LGBTQIA+… all names used at various times by various people to describe our diverse rainbow community. There is no single term that works across the globe. But does that matter? And are we leaving behind groups who don’t have English as their primary language?

A new Australian initiative to create an LGBTIQA+ terminology guide in languages other than English is being created by RMIT University in partnership with the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council and funded by the City of Melbourne. It will provide a terminology guide and translator for people of multicultural and multi-faith backgrounds. Joining us in this podcast are: Budi Sudarto from the Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council (AGMC); and Elvira Quintana, a linguist participating in the project.

April 27, 2022 Chile: The Progress and Problems Surrounding LGBT Rights
Progress on LGBT rights is moving fast in Chile. It was only just over 20 years ago that being gay was still illegal. In the interim there have been a raft of progressive laws enacted and last month, Chile elected their first only trans member of parliament. But there are still problems. In recent years there has been an increase in violence against Trans women, with their average life expectancy just 35 years.
To help us understand the progress and the problem in Chile, we are joined by Matival Cortez – the legislative advisor to Chile’s first Trans Deputy, Emilia Schneider Videla. They are also the Genderfluid activist of OTD Chile – the Oganizing Trans Diversities – which promotes human rights of trans, non-binary and intersex people.

April 20, 2022 Afghanistan: Life for LGBT People Under Taliban Rule
When the Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, it left many locals in fear of their lives. For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Afghans, it was especially terrifying. Not because they had a safety under the occupied forces that they would lose but because the Taliban regime specifically stated that they would not respect the rights of LGBT people. They knew that would open the door to abuses not just from Taliban members and sympathizers but from family and friends.
All their worst fears have now been confirmed in the first detailed report about LGBT Afghans since the western forces, including Australia, departed. Two organisations – Human Rights Watch and OutRight Action International – joined to bring these stories to the world in their report titled: ‘Even if You Go to the Skies, We’ll Find You’: LGBT People in Afghanistan After the Return of the Taliban.
In this World Wide Wave podcast we hear from: Walid Muhammadi, a human rights activist who fled Afghanistan; Heather Barr, the Associate Director of Women’s Rights at Human Rights Watch; and J Lester Feder, Senior Fellow for Emergency Research at OutRight Action International.
