Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite notable advancements, LGBTQI+ communities worldwide still face entrenched discrimination and disparities. Activism has emerged as a potent force challenging societal norms, legal frameworks, and cultural attitudes perpetuating these disparities. LGBTQI+ activists confront prejudice, discrimination, and legal barriers while securing significant advancements. Triumphs achieved through activism inspire further progress and advocacy for an equitable world. Challenges persist, emphasizing the importance of amplifying LGBTQI+ voices and dismantling discriminatory systems. This special edition explores LGBTQI+ activism’s multifaceted dimensions and profound impact on visibility, representation, and inclusion in attempts to foster understanding and support for social change initiatives. This call for articles encourages original research, conceptual papers, and critical reviews that delve into various themes related to LGBTQI+ activism. We welcome submissions exploring historical perspectives on LGBTQI+ activism, the challenges and successes of transnational activism, the intersectionality within LGBTQI+ communities, legal and policy advocacy, digital activism, and more. We are particularly interested in papers that shed light on the innovative strategies employed by activists, the impact of media and arts in shaping public perceptions, and educational initiatives promoting LGBTQI+ inclusion. By gathering diverse insights and evidence-based approaches, this special edition aims to contribute to advancing LGBTQI+ rights and social change.
