LGBTIQ+ and social welfare initiatives in Pasto

Overview

The municipal government of Pasto has initiated programs focused on social welfare and the political empowerment of the LGBTIQ+ community.

Through the Secretariat of Women, Sexual Orientations, and Gender Identities, the city hosted the first seminar on LGBTIQ+ political leadership training. This academic event involved students, community leaders, and university representatives to discuss identity, rights, democracy, and political agendas. The initiative seeks to strengthen political participation and integrate the community into decision-making processes.

In addition to these leadership efforts, the Secretariat of Social Welfare and the ‘Habitanza en Calle’ program have implemented support for vulnerable populations, such as providing supplies to the ‘Resucitados por su Sangre’ Foundation to assist the homeless population with skill development.
