Simon Cazal is interviewed by the newspaper “En Positivo”, as paraguayan referent to the MERCOSUR’s LGBT Network. In this note Simon Cazal brings a summary of the main topics and conclusions of the third meeting of the MERCOSUR’s LGBT Network, that took place in Asuncion for the first time on November of 2008. In addition to Paraguay, countries that also participated include Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.
the activist said that the main points of reflection of the movement were focused on the need to strengthen citizen action campaigns, specifically those from LGBT communities, in regards to the defense of human rights.
“Organizations must strengthen their community work through a more effective communication” mentioned Cazal, in time to reflect on the challenges that this process involves.
“We must improve our insertion in community activities. As of today, it is more important to rethink on the management of power in the organised groups that exist, the violent breaks that LGBT groups face and the complex challenges that we have in the region. All of these summon us to a profound revision and a constant dialogue” expressed the activist.
“It will be our priority from the executive board to launch health related and educational programs that will provide the tools to work the rights of every person” ended Cazal.
