Sexual and gender minorities are already experiencing various levels of oppression and discrimination and these are further exacerbated during the CoVid-19 pandemic. This document provides some of the salient points from the dialogue organized by Youth Voices Count (YVC), the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth, Asian Youth Peace Network (AYPN), and Asia Pacific Regional Civil Society Engagement Mechanism, with the support of speakers from ILGA ASIA, The Asian-Pacific Resource & Research Centre for Women (ARROW), and ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights last April 24, 2020. As governments continue to take urgent and
aggressive actions to curb the spread of the virus and support the immediate needs of communities impacted by the lockdowns, this document also provides key recommendations highlighted during the dialogue.
