Pride in Timor-Leste

July 31, 2019

By the Nabilan team

This month, the usual crush of scooters and cars along the busy beachfront road in Dili give way to a crowd of more than 3,000 people singing in a sea of rainbow flags as they took part in Timor-Leste’s 2019 Pride March.

The Nabilan program is an eight-year partnership between the governments of Australia and Timor-Leste to end violence against women and children. Nabilan is implemented by The Asia Foundation in collaboration with Timor-Leste’s Ministry for Social Solidarity and Inclusion (MSSI) and the Secretariat of State for Equality and Inclusion (SEII).
