About Us
Rainbow Africa Initiative was formed by a group of Queer feminist sex workers youth in late 2016 who were passionate about improving service delivery module to their community in the areas of Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights to advance livelihood for the marginalized youths. The need for improvement came about to address needs and challenges faced by the queer feminist sex-worker youths who were so vulnerable when it comes to accessibility to these services. The rising numbers of stigma and discrimination in rural areas hence called for action for change in gaps like human rights, health, advocacy, economic justice and capacity development. Through partnership and networking modules, RAI-Ug strategizes to address the challenges through resource mobilization and partner implementation to have a strong movement whereby everyone is included and not discriminated. The Initiative was formed in the suburbs of Kampala, Uganda and later took action in the rural setting of Kabarole to address the desired concerns of SRHR. This has been supported by the objective of the organization to create a network of SRHR services advocates and change agents for rural queer feminist sex-worker youths in the country.
