The Rainbow Project (TRP) was a non-governmental organisation advocating for LGBT rights and acceptance in Namibia. It provided resources to marginalised communities and worked to counter homophobia and discrimination against sexual minorities in the Namibian community. At its inception, TRP was the only organisation of its kind to focus on injustice against and abuse of sexual minorities in the country; this contrasted with other prominent Namibian LGBT organisations, such as Sister Namibia, which primarily supported lesbians.

  • The Rainbow Project (TRP) was a non-governmental organisation advocating for LGBT rights and acceptance in Namibia. It provided resources to marginalised communities and worked to counter homophobia and discrimination against sexual minorities in the Namibian community. At its inception, TRP was the only organisation of its kind to focus on injustice against and abuse of sexual minorities in the country; this contrasted with other prominent Namibian LGBT organisations, such as Sister Namibia, which primarily supported lesbians. TRP focused on distributing resources throughout the LGBT community, including education, social services and suicide-prevention counselling. It conducted advocacy work, and began documenting hate crimes against sexual minorities in 2006. The TRP worked to remove negative stereotypes of the community. Notable examples include responding to official government reports demonstrating that heterosexuals engaging in unprotected intercourse are the main transmitters of HIV in Namibia and promoting HIV–AIDS prevention strategies which are sensitive to the experiences of sexual minorities, free of homophobic misinformation.
