Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, which sub-Saharan countries have (a) been invited to and (b) agreed to attend the Safe to be Me Global Equality Conference to be hosted in London in June 2022.
The Safe To Be Me: Global Equality Conference team is working hard with a range of domestic and international stakeholders to shape its programme and delivery. No formal invitations to the event have issued yet, but we are planning on a wide range of global participation, recognising that countries are at different stages of the journey towards LGBT+ equality. We welcome attendance from any country who wants to make progress towards that goal.
