Our Past Projects
A look back at the campaigns, collaborations, and milestones that have shaped our journey.
Empowered Movements for Rights and Gender Equality (EMERGE) is a project supported by The Asia Foundation (TAF). It is a project led by a consortium of other LGBTQI civil society organizations—all seeking to build momentum for national policy changes that promote an end to violence, discrimination, and abuse of LGBTQI persons.

Building Rainbow Communities is a three-year project with Voice Philippines. It was conceptualized out of a series of Focus Group Discussions which surfaced the disparity in the level of engagements between provincial organizations and those based in urban metropolitan areas. Babaylanes then comes in as brokers — facilitators of information, resources, opportunities, and even social relations.

Babaylanes, Inc., funded by Global Affairs Canada and supported by APCOM, is part of the project, “Supporting LGBTQI Rights in Asia: Connecting Voices for LGBTQI Socio-Economic Inclusion and Human Rights in Asia” which aims to improve local LGBTQI organizations’ ability to represent and advocate for LGBTQI persons’ welfare towards shaping gender-sensitive policies and programs in five countries in Southeast Asia; Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, and Thailand.
The Babaylanes Equality Fellowship (BEF) program aims to capacitate young and emerging LGBTQI advocates to form a larger pool of LGBTQI youth leaders. This pool shall cultivate a new generation of leaders who would contribute to the sustainability of LGBTQI organizations in the Philippines. By fostering a diverse array of LGBTQI voices, the program also strives to foster greater inclusivity and representation in leadership roles, thereby promoting principles of good governance and ensuring a more equal society.
