Building Belonging through Governance: Bi+ Equal’s Journey

For us, at Bi+ Equal and many other NGOs, governance is much more than a set of policies. It’s about how we make decisions together, how we share power fairly, and how we make sure every voice can be heard. Our governance shapes a democracy where the voices of the unheard are heard and their rights are guaranteed. In other words, it’s how we bring our values of equity, transparency, and intersectionality to life, while learning from the experiences and history of the LGBTQIA+ movement, the racialised and displaced people movements, indigenous people, and more. Knowing we won’t be able to be perfect at all times, Bi+ Equal aimed for a strong foundation. We want to plant a seed to be nourished by our common values and dreams to become a structure, a tree nourishing us, and beyond the bi+ community back. Here is a memoir of this journey, so far.
