Minority Women in Action was formed in 2006. This followed a conference; organized by the Urgent Action Fund in conjunction with other partners.
The aims of the Urgent Action conference were to bring together Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Inter-sex (LGBTI) individuals from East Africa to discuss different issues affecting them and to assess the level and progress of LGBTI organizations within the region.
During the conference, most women realized that despite the attendance of representatives from organizations aiming at fighting for the rights LBTI’s, women’s issues were highly ignored. This called for the formation of an organization that specifically caters for the needs and rights of LBTI’s.
