#ThrowbackThursday🌍2 years ago this month, 50+ TCEN members came together for our Global Convening — connecting across borders to strengthen networks, build capacity, and shape our governance. Moments like these remind us why community is at the heart of everything we do.🌈
🏳️🌈 Happy #PrideMonth! 🏳️🌈
Pride is more than a celebration — it's a reminder of how far we've come and a call to action to make sure that hard fought gains are not lost.
This month, we honour every LGBTI+ person fighting for dignity, safety, and equality across the world.💛
Across the Commonwealth, love is a force for connection, courage, and change.
This Valentine’s Day, we honour LGBTI+ communities challenging stigma, laws, and discrimination, and we stand with them in solidarity.

Feb 4, 2026 marked another moment in the #Repeal162 journey. The decriminalization appeal had its first substantive hearing since 2019. The Court adjourned to May 2026, but the constitutional questions remain alive. Justice is worth pursuing.
#LoveIsHuman #TheIssueIsViolence
Today, the Court of Appeal in Nairobi held the first substantive hearing of the #Repeal162 appeal since the High Courts 2019 judgement.
The Court granted an adjournment and directed a full-day hearing to be scheduled in May 2026.

Our Management Committee met in Antigua & Barbuda last week for our Annual Meeting and to continue preparations for CHOGM 2026 in St. John’s this November. A productive time connecting with activists and leaders across the region. Special thanks to ECADE for supporting this trip.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Costa Gavrielides. A leading member of our Network, Costa was a tireless champion for human rights and LGBTI+ equality in Cyprus, across Europe and throughout the Commonwealth. He will be greatly missed.🕯️
🕯️ We are deeply saddened by the passing of @CGavrielides at the age of 48. Co-founder and former President of @AcceptCY, he championed LGBTQI+ rights, helped deliver the CY-UK MoU on equality issues and served as @CWEquality’s European point of contact. Heartfelt condolences 💐
