This seminar explores how LGBTQI+ activists in Mongolia are building a resilient movement through community organizing, public advocacy, and visibility initiatives such as Pride and IDAHOTB. It examines key strategies used to strengthen solidarity, expand civic space, and respond to rising anti-rights narratives. The discussion also highlights efforts to advance more inclusive healthcare systems, particularly improving access to affirming services for trans communities.

By reflecting on both progress and ongoing barriers, the seminar will identify critical challenges and emerging opportunities for sustaining movement growth and ensuring that LGBTQI+ people are meaningfully included in Mongolia’s social, political, and healthcare systems.

Join us in person or online on 12 May 2026, 5-6pm for the Marian Barrett Lecture: Is nursing at a crossroad? Maximising our contribution to health outcomes in Australia.

Celebrating 30 years of the Department, the lecture will be presented by Professor Sanchia Aranda, the inaugural Deputy Head of the School of Nursing.
