Statement on Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference
“Sydney WorldPride set out to stage the largest LGBQTIA+ Human Rights Conference ever held in the Southern Hemisphere, with a 3-day program including over 60 speakers. As a not-for-profit organisation, we feel a great deal of responsibility to deliver for the global rainbow community, and from the outset built in access programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people on concessions or experiencing financial hardship, community organisations and a scholarship program. We also intend to make most of the Conference available to watch for free anywhere in the world online.”
“The Human Rights Conference ticket income does not cover the cost of staging the event, and we are reliant on government and corporate partners to make the Conference happen. We have heard the community feedback that the some of the ticket prices are out of reach for people who want to attend, and we will have a solution to address this by August.”
