The Pride Movement in India has rested on the shoulders of those who worked tirelessly to create spaces for the community that helped them feel safe and accepted. The Humsafar Trust, established in 1994, is one of the leading organisations that stepped up to the task of making queer voices heard.
Suhail Abbasi, Co-Founder of The Humsafar Trust, joins us for a very special Power In Pride edition of MICAST, to tell us the captivating story of Humsafar, the Indian LGBT+ community, and his own illustrious media career!

The MICAST team wishes you all a very Happy Pride Month!
