About this place Grupo Arco-Íris de Conscientização Homossexual

Grupo Arco-Íris de Conscientização Homossexual is Rio de Janeiro's primary LGBTQ+ advocacy and community organization, founded in 1993 and based in the Tijuca neighbourhood. The group has been central to the legal and social progress of LGBTQ+ rights in Rio and in Brazil more broadly: it participated in the legal processes that established same-sex union rights, has run HIV prevention and support programmes, and provides community services including legal advice, psychological support, and resources for LGBTQ+ people experiencing violence or discrimination. The organization played a significant role in establishing and organizing Rio Pride, which it helped to found in the late 1990s. Grupo Arco-Íris maintains relationships with international LGBTQ+ organizations and represents Rio de Janeiro's community in national advocacy coalitions. For visitors to Rio who want to engage with the city's LGBTQ+ civil society, access information about rights and resources, or contribute to community work, Grupo Arco-Íris is the primary contact. The Tijuca location is accessible by metro from the Zona Sul.

I've never been there, but read a lot of positive comments here which made me think giving a 5-Star-Review to support that place would be a good thing to do..... Keep up your good work!!

It became my family. The place offers social, psychological, and legal assistance, in addition to fostering culture through the activities of the LGBTI+ Choir of Rio de Janeiro, the Divines School of sewing and dressmaking, and offers seminars, lectures, workshops, and job opportunities. An NGO that supports its community!
