This year’s festival theme is ‘Evolution’, which focuses on the evolution of human rights through education, with a primary focus on LGBTTQ*rights and freedoms.The evolution of human rights is a reflection of the advancements made by society. Human rights and freedoms are vital to the LGBTTQ* community as they permit equal recognition and treatment, which enables continued progress.
