Maria Assuncao Barreto Gama

Vice-Coordinator, HATUTAN
Timor-Leste
Maria is the Vice-Coordinator of the HATUTAN Youth Group. Examples of HATUTAN activities for LGBTI rights includes a panel discussion on discrimination against LGBTI youth at school or within the communities, and a seminar on women’s rights. HATUTAN’s vision is to build a more inclusive society involving youth regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, health, socioeconomic or religion. Maria wants to enhance her capacity as a human rights defender and she believes the Diplomacy Training Program will enable her to network with other non-governmental organisations and partners in Timor-Leste and the region.
