TRACE Research Manager Pedro Fidalgo participated in the table Agro Cuír: the LGBTQI+ struggle in the rural world [Agro Cuír: a luta LGBTQI+ no mundo rural] alongside Xavier Simão, at the II Fórum LGBTQI+ in Coimbra, organised by the Portuguese political party Bloco de Esquerda and the European party The Left. The discussion explored the challenges and resistances experienced by LGBTQI+ people in rural contexts, with reflections drawn from ongoing research, and lived experience.

TRACE responded to the invitation – as engaging with policy makers and active citizens is fundamental for change.
