SAFE-R at the Queer Wave Festival

Professionals from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and community-based groups working on LGBTIQ+ rights and health advocacy will be informed about the project.

These professionals — social workers, trainers, gender experts, and psychologists—bring valuable expertise and recommendations for policy formulation and implementation.

They can utilize the project’s results to advocate for improved health services tailored to the needs of LGBTIQ+ individuals.

Local authorities, such as municipal health clinics and departments, are critical in implementing LGBTIQ-inclusive health policies at the community level.

They will be informed about project activities and encouraged to leverage its results to enhance the health services they provide to LGBTIQ+ individuals.

LGBTIQ+ individuals and advocacy groups are central to the project, given their vital role in shaping the project’s methodology and outcomes.

Their lived experiences and insights will inform the project’s approach, ensuring relevance and inclusivity in addressing their health needs.

Medical and nursing students are primary target groups as they represent the future generation of healthcare practitioners. Engaging them in this project ensures long-term impact.

This group will primarily be reached through the University of Nicosia’s health-related courses and the Cyprus Medical Students’ Association and will participate in both the research and development phases of the project.
