LGBTQ+ Community in International Development - Special D&I Podcast Series Ep.1. with Zaak Garrett

In honor of #PrideMonth, The RE: Project is excited to highlight the experiences of the #LGBTQIA+ community in International Development through a special series of podcasts featuring strong mentors who advocate for LGBTQ+ issues.

Our first speaker is Zaak Garrett, Communications Support Officer at IOM - UN Migration and Co-founder of Dream Tree Thailand, an eco-conscious and colorful online community and platform that provides inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ and allies in Bangkok, Thailand.

In this podcast, Zaak shares their numerous LGBTQ+ initiatives they’ve worked on throughout their career, their navigation in career path as a non-binary individual in the humanitarian field, and their advice to an LGBTQ+ individual interested in taking a step toward a career in the international development sector.

Zaak is currently a communications consultant with IOM - UN Migration and Co-founder of Dream Tree Thailand. Passionate about everything LGBTQ+, women’s rights, and environmental issues, they are a journalist and human rights advocate, actively involved in various initiatives such as #PolicyPlease, #DontTellMeHowToDress, and Rainbow Migrants.
