For this new episode of Making Rainbow Waves, ILGA World sat down with Kseniya Kirichenko, our UN programme manager, to retrace the history of how the organisation has engaged with international human rights spaces throughout its existence, navigating these global fora to uplift the voices of grassroots organisations and civil society worldwide.

"The human rights idea is our shared idea", she told us. "It is something that does not just belong to governments, something that does not just belong to the United Nations: it is about us, and about our lives."
