SUBMISSION DEADLINE – JANUARY 31, 2015.
THEME: ‘REACHING OUT, TOUCHING HEARTS’
The theme of KASHISH 2015, ”Reaching Out, Touching Hearts”, reflects the urgent need for all of us to reach across barriers and boundaries, reach out to everyone – parents, families, friends, colleagues and peers.
An equal society without stigma and discrimination is a shared responsibility.
The Indian LGBT movement is at a crucial time in its history, where it is fighting an unjust law – section 377 of the Indian Penal Code – that criminalizes the community. It is important to broad-base this struggle and build alliances across race, class, caste, religion, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation to challenge prejudice, change attitudes and create a society that allows each person to live with love and dignity.
