Establishing Active Parent Support Groups Across Eswatini
PUCAC has successfully established seven active parent support groups across different regions of Eswatini, creating safe spaces for parents to share experiences, learn, and grow together.
These groups have become vital platforms for emotional healing, peer learning, and building strong networks of families who champion love and acceptance.
Support Groups
Conducting Sensitization Sessions for Parents and Caregivers
Through interactive sensitization workshops, parents and caregivers are empowered with knowledge about sexual orientation, gender identity, and inclusive parenting.
These sessions help families replace fear with understanding, reducing stigma and strengthening the emotional well-being of both parents and their LGBTQI+ children.
