The Wilson Center joins in the celebration of Pride Month, embracing this year's theme: "Reflect, Empower, Unite."

As we commemorate this important time, we stand proudly with our LGBTQI+ staff, partners, and fellows to reaffirm our commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in our vibrant scholarly community. Over the past year, we have witnessed numerous challenges in the realm of LGBTQI+ rights and policies across various countries. These developments underscore the importance of our commitment to protect the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons. We are dedicated to the goal of ending violence and discrimination while fostering an environment that respects all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression.  

This Pride Month, and every month, we celebrate the diversity that strengthens and enriches our collective efforts.
