In this episode of Debunque It, host Mariana Schuetze speaks with Brant Luswata, Executive Director of Ice Breakers Uganda, about the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and health care in Uganda. As one of the country’s pioneering advocacy organizations, Ice Breakers Uganda operates at the forefront of support and resistance amid harsh anti-LGBTQ+ legislation.

We explore the importance of international solidarity and the innovative strategies being used to empower, educate, and sustain the community.
