Last week, from Tuesday 8 October to Thursday 10 October, we had a series of conversations on Twitter about SOGIE issues in Southeast Asia.

Fruitful discussions, too. If you’re interested in reading them in full, go to bit.ly/feed-aseantoo and the @aseansogie feed here: bit.ly/feed-aseansogie. Otherwise, we have a small taste of the dialogues after the jump:

This weekend, ASEAN representatives are meeting in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, to discuss the adoption of the organisation’s Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children. They should be making their announcement about the declaration on 9 October.

As you know already, SOGIE (sexual orientation and gender identity/expression) was left out of the ASEAN Human Rights Declaration. We’re worried that it’ll be left out of this upcoming declaration too.

This is why we’ve started a new social media campaign to highlight the fact that gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people exist within ASEAN, and our rights need to be protected as well. We are ASEAN too!
