		In Latin America and Asia, for example, ILGA has given the impetus and support to glbtq groups, and has contributed to the growth of a democratic multi-racial lesbian and gay movement in South Africa.
		The ILGA also played a crucial role in the development of the first gay and lesbian organizations in the former Eastern bloc countries, beginning in the early 1980s when many of the groups had to operate clandestinely.
		In 1993, ILGA became the first glbtq group to be granted the status of a nongovernmental organization with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.

	The GULLY \| Gay Mundo \| How To Be A Lesbian In Guatemala: An Interview with Claudia Acevedo
		Many lesbians here are absolutely not interested in organizing themselves, whether for reasons rooted in the history of Guatemala, like the violence, or because we activists are not doing something right.
		For lesbians in general, the three biggest needs are access to information (about sexual orientation and sexuality, violence within the family and so many other things), legal and psychological counseling, and having our own spaces.
		We are going to do five things: set up a national communication network for Guatemalan lesbians, organize lesbians by sector (soccer players, lefties, lesbian mothers, indigenous lesbians, etc.), draft legislation to outlaw violence and discrimination against lesbians, lobby the Guatemalan Congress, and create partnerships with national and international human rights and other groups.
