GESI: The need for dialogue on intersectionality and the inclusion of gender and sexual minorities in the GESI mandate.

The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) mandate has expanded and reevaluated to include gender minorities, PWDs, and several marginalized identities. However, what real-world measures are we taking, especially as members of the Global Civil Society, development, and Human Rights sectors to address inclusion and coalition building for GESI? 

Gender Equality is still read and practiced by binary and heteronormative standards. Understanding Intersectionality and the spectrum of gender is the key to having a truly effective perspective on GESI and how we as theorists, practitioners, and activists can see the lived and experiential results of truly expansive GESI. 

This involves formal and informal coalition building between the feminist movement, the Queer Community, and exploring intersectionality across marginalized identities of caste, creed, race, and ethnicity. What are we doing to raise those voices for the betterment of the rights movement?
