Decriminalization was met with cheer and hope, celebrating the fact that LGBT people are no longer criminals in the eyes of the law.
As a founding member of the coalition Voices Against 377 (link to program page), CREA has worked for over 15 years to decriminalise homosexuality in India, giving a platform to lesbian women to advocate for their own rights at the national level alongside allies.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
