Titel: Sexuelle Vielfalt und die katholische Kirche - Verfolgung und Stigmatisierung beenden, Dialog fördern

Status: bewilligt

Beschreibung: The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (art. 2 (2)) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (art. 2 (1)) identify the following non-exhaustive grounds of discrimination: race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status. According to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, “other status” may include health status (e.g., HIV/AIDS) or sexual orientation. In many countries, LGBTIQ* are exposed to arbitrary harassment by the police, to brutal humiliation by violent mobs, to unfounded dismissal by their employers, and to exclusion from school by their head teachers. Criminalisation deprives LGBTIQ*s of the protection of their fundamental human rights. The Catholic church plays a crucial role in the criminalisation of LGBTIQ*. Over the decades, new questions have been raised: In a globalised world, where does injustice block access to salvation and cure? Where does the church participate in cementing unjust structures instead of overcoming them? How can faith help to create justice? The Catholic church has to overcome homophobia and speak out against oppressing minorities. Objective: To use the huge potential of the church to advance gender justice and oppose misanthropic resentments, and to reject the exploitation of religious motives for discriminating against LGBTIQ*. Result 1: Reflection by the Austrian church on how best to act as a credible advocate for the rights of all people, especially of discriminated minorities, including LGBTIQ*. Result 2: Increase in awareness among observant Austrian Catholics of the need to change Canon Law CCC no. 2354. Result 3: Presentation of the “Grant me Justice – Criminalization of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People and the Catholic Church” exhibition in up 20 Austrian parishes. Result 4: Increase in awareness for the discrimination of LGBTIQ* through information campaigns such as panel discussions, leaflets, postcards, etc.

Titel: Institutional Support and LGBTIQ* Needs Assessment

Beschreibung: Northern Kenya is one of the poorest and most marginalized regions in the country also due to the refugee movements (Somalia, internal conflicts). Minorities in Northern Kenya have little to no access to the health system. The exclusion of minorities weakens the whole health system. The development of a strong health is a democratic task that requires the participation of everyone. Only if everyone has equal access, we can talk about strong health systems. Therefore, states have an obligation to prohibit and eliminate discrimination on all grounds and ensure equality to all in relation to access to health care and the underlying determinants of health. Through the exhibition "Grant me justice – Criminalization of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender People and the Catholic Church" drawn up at the 2nd assembly of the Global Network of Rainbow Catholics (2017), there has been an intensive contact with representatives of human rights activists from the region. Anti-LGTBI* incidents are part of very specific local and distinct political settings. Gender, class, environmental and power issues concern the political abuse of all forms of differences and belongings. Objective: Empowerment of Human Rights Defenders in Northern Kenya to Act as Change Agents. Result 1: A needs assessment of LGBTIQ* in Northern Kenya is conducted. Result 2: The preparatory work for the implementation of a virtual office that is secure and stable was carried out. Result 3: Capacities to apply for and implement co-financed projects that further enhance sustainable change are improved.

Titel: Human Corporate - Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement in der Einen Welt

Status: bewilligt

Beschreibung: Healthy working and environmental conditions are part of the right to health. Businesses can affect the right to health in several ways. The corporate culture, the food offered in the canteen, the working equipment, etc. can directly affect the health of employees. The mode of production, procurement of office materials and equipment, etc. have a huge impact on the environment. Therefore, occupational health management is important in the Global North and in the Global South; it is an entry point for behavioural change and addressing the need for socio-ecological transformation. Improving individual health is not merely a private matter. Health promotion and prevention require both individual and collective changes in consciousness and behaviour. Objective: To further develop corporate health efforts in Austria and in partnering countries in order to promote healthy working and environmental conditions. Result 1: Advancement in occupational health and promotion of the idea of “One Health in One World” in up to 10 Austrian businesses. Result 2: Social awareness and a broad understanding of the relevance of plan:g’s work in up to 10 Austrian businesses and up to 100 new employee donors. Result 3: Identification of organisations, ministries and companies interested in advancing the health status of employees in our partner countries. Result 4: Contracting of up to 4 technical advisors for a 2-year term to consult with organisations, ministries and companies in our partner countries on occupational health issues.
