ICIEG – Instituto Cabo-verdiano para a Igualdade e Equidade de Género

The Instituto Cabo-verdiano para a Igualdade e Equidade de Género (ICIEG) is Cabo Verde's national institute for gender equality, headquartered in Praia. Beyond its gender-equality mandate it is the main public organizer of Praia's Marcha do Orgulho LGBTIQ+ and supports LGBTI-inclusion projects nationally, working with the Câmara Municipal da Praia and international partners. While it is a government body rather than a grassroots collective, it is the institutional anchor for LGBTQ+ rights work in the country and a useful reference for visitors seeking official information.
