Rainbow walk to create awareness on LGBTQIA

Visakhapatnam: As part of the LGBTQIA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual) pride month, Junior Chamber International (JCI) Vizag Achievers concluded a two-day programme with a 'rainbow' walk on Sunday near Jail Road.

Among other events, a panel discussion with experts and presentation to create awareness on the community were held. Human Rights Forum, AP State secretary K Sudha and Karate and kick boxing champion Bhupathiraju Anmish Varma participated as special guests.

According to JCI Vizag Achievers president Sheetal Madan, the LGBTQIA needs to be accepted and hence the organisation intends to create awareness on the community through such programmes in future as well. Along with the community members, JCI members, including Jyothsna and Swetha took part in the rainbow walk.
