Yaariyan is the voluntary youth initiative of the Humsafar Trust – for encouraging and supporting young LGBTQ voices to come forward and get involved with everything that’s current and new.
They regularly organise activities (in the past they’ve hosted self-defence classes as well) for the out and proud – but also offer a safe space for anyone who wants to come in for counselling and acceptance meetings. We hear every 15 August, there’s an annual meet that’s organised called the ‘acceptance meet’.
#LBBTip: Yaariyan has the credit of organising the first-ever queer-themed flashmob in the country. Keep yourself updated by writing to Yaariyan at yaariyan.hst@gmail.com
