"The Cook Islands has removed a law that criminalizes homosexuality, in a huge
victory for the local LGBTI+ community.

Our local Member Association, the Cook Islands Family Welfare Association
(CIFWA), has been integral to the advocacy around this law reform, which has
faced many hurdles since the movement kicked off in 2017. Staff and volunteers
at CIFWA have worked in step with Pride Cook Islands and the Te Tiare
Association (TTA), two of the biggest LGBTI+ advocacy organizations in the
country, to end discrimination and promote human rights.

Meet some of the inspiring people behind this historic movement."
