We know there is a well funded, powerful and coordinated movement against human rights in the UK. This is what we call an anti-rights agenda, focused on working to remove human rights protections, targeting bodily autonomy, access to abortion and the rights of LGBTIA+ people

We are hosting an urgent one day conference focused on the growing censorship of LGBTQIA+ lives and lessons learned from Section 28, the law that banned the 'promotion of homosexuality' in 1988 and ask ourselves, is history repeating itself?

We think it's time to bring different communities together from educators to librarians, campaigners to media experts and compare the rise of censorship they are experiencing and tactical targeting of LGBTQIA+ communities, asking ourselves collectively, what can we do to counter this?
