DESEA Celebrates Pride Month with a Vibrant Lineup of Community Events

—The Dominica Equality & Sexual Expression Association (DESEA) proudly

extends heartfelt wishes to every member of the LGBTQ+ community in Dominica as we celebrate Pride Month 2025.

This month is a time to honor the resilience, diversity, and strength of our community. DESEA, as your local LGBTQ+ advocacy and support organization, has organized a series of events aimed at fostering connection, empowerment, and visibility.

The calendar of activities includes:

• Launch of the Emergency Fund

A vital support initiative for community members who have been evaluated and

approved for financial assistance.

• Community Forum

An open and inclusive space for dialogue, learning, and shared experiences.

• Chat Room

A safe, virtual environment for peer support and meaningful conversations.

• Social Event

A celebratory gathering to connect, unwind, and build community spirit.

“These events reflect our ongoing commitment to creating safe spaces and support systems for LGBTQ+ individuals in Dominica,” said a DESEA spokesperson. “While Pride may still be observed privately by many, our collective presence and progress are undeniable.”

DESEA invites all community members and allies to participate, celebrate, and stand in

solidarity throughout the month.
