The Platform UNITY has launched series of sensitizations and campaigns that aimed at promoting and protecting the rights of Sexual and Gender Minorities(SGM) within the framework of one of their flagship project dubbed: “TOGETHER”.
These campaigns of the project TOGETHER are out to highlight the need for the respect of Human Rights, and to show how all Human Beings are equal despite their sex, age, race, sexual orientation and diversity.
These campaign messages are in line with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which calls for equality amongst human beings as stated for instance in Articles 1 and 2.
Article 1
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 2
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing, or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
The Platform UNITY, abbreviated as PFU is a network of 34 organizations promoting and protecting the rights of Sexual and Gender Minorities in Cameroon. It was created on the 21st of October 2016 with the motto: Liberty, Equality, Harmony.
