Chika at the International LGBT and Human Rights workshop in Stockholm


Chika and Zelal found each other in Stockholm! I met these beautiful women at a Sexuality Rights workshop at Himachal Pradesh in India. We have maintained friendships since.



Hooray to my dear friend Chika Noya for being awarded the fellowship of to attend the International Training on LGBT and Human Rights that is currently being held at Stockholm! I'm sure she will do a wonderful job at the workshop!

Chika has been working for the The Kartini Network for Women/Gender Studies in Asia for years and has been involved in working with LGBT rights in Indonesia. Apart from this, she is also an active organizer for the Queer Film Festival in Indonesia. QFF is also doing an amazing job in using innovative means to engage people to talk about important LGBT issues in Indonesia.
