UNLOCK Book Club | Pride & Prejudices: Queer Lives & the Law by Keio Yoshida.

Author and WCS Awardee Keio Yoshida shares the creative process behind his debut book.

Have you ever considered writing a book to share your voice, expertise & passion with the world? If the answer is yes, the UNLOCK Book Club is for YOU!

Our network of experienced queer authors - leaders in their fields & spaces - are here to share their journeys, bring tough topics into every-day conversations and provide you with tips & guidance to help make your publishing dream a reality.

As part of the We Create Space Awards programme we invited human rights lawyer and 2024 WCS Awardee Keio Yoshida to join us for a special online launch of his new book "Pride & Prejudices: Queer Lives & the Law", which uncovers the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights, how far we’ve come, and how much further we have to go.

The right to life & the right to live life free from discrimination are rights that are codified & legally protected, but — unlike those on women’s rights, disability rights, children’s rights, freedom from torture, & racial discrimination — there is no dedicated & binding treaty or convention in international human rights law with respect to LGBTQ+ rights.

Catch up with the full recording of this session to hear Keio and host Jon-Paul discuss:

- the legal problems that still persist and contribute to the violence and discrimination that the international LGBTQ+ population experiences on a daily basis

- what more needs to be done to protect LGBTQ+ communities

- Keio's hopes for the book & the future of LGBTQ+ rights

If you would like to discuss booking one of these speakers for your own session, please get in touch with us via email at hello@wecreatespace.co
