Legal Rights & Policy Advocacy
At JQC, we empower LGBTQIA+ individuals to know their rights, claim their space, and drive change. Through workshops, legal aid support, and advocacy campaigns, we equip the community to challenge discrimination, correct legal documents, and push for inclusive policies across schools, workplaces, and public spaces.
