The First LGBT+ Network in Bhutan

Founded in 2017, Rainbow Bhutan formed a network representing our community to address the various needs of the LGBT+ population in Bhutan. These needs were recognized through various consultations within the community and our various partners in Bhutan.

Rainbow Bhutan now functions as an independent LGBT+ network in Bhutan with our own Secretariat Office and a management team.
