LGBTI+ rights advocacy and diversity events have been highlighted across various regions in Uruguay.

In Montevideo, the March for Diversity was held under the slogan ‘Vivir con dignidad, existir con orgullo’ (Live with dignity, exist with pride). Activists addressed systemic challenges in housing, health, education, and culture. Specifically, Nilia Viscardi from the Administración Nacional de Educación Pública noted a lack of guidance for educators regarding student gender transitions. Concurrently, in Paysandú, the Policlínica Chaplin hosted the fourth Feria Diversa to promote diversity rights and provide mental health support.

In Lavalleja, authorities and the Colectivo Diversidad Lavalleja announced the 11th March for Diversity in the city of Minas. To support these efforts, the departmental director of the Ministry of Social Development announced the formation of the Departmental Council for Sexual Diversity, a collaborative body involving health and education institutions.
