Overview
Nandini Tanya Lallmon is a research scholar at the University of Malta,
where she is developing methodologies to bridge the gap
between policy and practice pertaining to LGBTQIA+
rights in African Small Island Developing States. Appointed as African Youth Charter Hustler for Mauritius by the
African Union Office of the Youth Envoy, she fosters the active appropriation by African youth of their rights by
taking a decolonial perspective on sexual orientation, sex characteristics,
gender identity and expression.
As Community Leader for Internet Health at Digital Grassroots, she empowers LGBTQIA+ youth to protect their
rights to privacy and security in the virtual and physical worlds. In her role of
steering committee member of the Southern African Human Rights Defenders
Network, she educates LGBTQIA+ activists on the human
rights protection mechanisms available to them in cases of abuse. Through her fellowship at
OutRight International, she advocates for human rights at the United Nations and harnesses the
international law system to protect LGBTQIA+ people from religion-based
violence.
Through the #Reform53 campaign, she lobbies against
discriminatory laws on behalf of the Commonwealth Youth Gender and Equality
Network under the Royal Commonwealth Society. As part of the pioneer Youth
Sounding Board of the European Commission for International Partnerships, she creates learning, dialogue
