Work experience in LGBTQIA+

I have no working background in LGBTIQ but I am proud being one and part of LGBTIQIA+ group. Being a chairman of APCOM since 2019, it is giving me more understanding of how to be a small part to drive LGBTIQ to society to accept and understand more about us.

My view of LGBTIQ is equally to heterosexual, LGBTIQ is equally to have basic human rights treatment and easily access to get treated to any diseases no only HIV/ AIDS.

HIV/AIDS patients should be accepted and treated equally no matter who you are or where you come from.

As I am someone who has no experience in NGOs working environment. I am proud to be able to contribute some of my knowledge and working strength from the corporation to APCOM.
