Foreign Office Minister Baroness Warsi is set to give a key note speech on LGBT rights as part of next week’s World Human Rights Day.
Baroness Warsi, who is the Senior Minister of State at the Foreign Office responsible for human rights, will speak and answer questions at the event hosted by BNP Paribas, who this autumn sponsored the PinkNews Awards.
The event will mark World Human Rights Day on 10 December and will be chaired by Dr Purna Sen.
Dr Sen, who is chair of the Kaleidoscope Trust and former head of human rights at the Commonwealth, said: “David Cameron has said he wants the UK to be ‘a global beacon for reform’ in support of LGBT rights. We look forward to hearing from Baroness Warsi how that commitment is being delivered in practice.”
The Kaleidoscope Trust is a UK based charity working to uphold the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people internationally.
