Human rights defender and leading Ugandan LGBTIQ advocate, Pepe Julian Onziema, travelled to Canada with generously donated Aeroplan points. Pepe, who is a director at Sexual Minorities Uganda, an SLF partner organization, helped raise awareness about the power of community in the struggle for LGBTIQ human rights, including access to stigma-free health services, HIV prevention and testing.
