A Tribute to Dr. Shivaji Bhattacharya
08/18/2010
IGLHRC believes that a vital part of our mission is supporting the work of activist organizations and allies by disseminating important information on human rights issues affecting LGBT communities worldwide. To this end we are posting this video about Dr. Shivaji Bhattacharya.
IGLHRC, along with many other LGBT organizations, had the privilege of working with Dr. Shivaji Bhattacharya in his role at UNDP. He played an important role in facilitating the participation of activists in the international human rights arena. For example, during the 45th Session of the Africa Commission on Human and People's Rights, Dr. Shivaji facilitated the support from UNDP to hold a meeting and panel with LGBT activists during the NGO Forum preceding the formal session. Activists from South Africa, Malawi, Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Kenya and IGLHRC staff could not have had this valuable experience if it weren't for his support.
