I am attending a 3 days' conference whose theme is:Exploring Stepping-Stones;Sexual Identity and Gender Equality. The organizer of this conference is, Centre for Research and Innovation for Change. The conference is championing a creative space of critical reflection and action , and provides opportunities for inspiration and synergy towards a more humane society.
