ELLA Global Community Information

ELLA Global Community was founded in Spain to create greater visibility of all queer women and nonbinary people of all backgrounds in order to enable them to identify and promote their specific needs. ELLA works to provide a platform through which queer women and nonbinary people can feel inspired to strengthen their community and raise awareness about their identity and challenges faced as a result of discrimination and inequality. Our organization is committed to respecting and promoting human rights, gender equality, diversity and inclusion. ELLA recognizes these definitions: Queer = an identity label that is non-specific towards a person's sexual orientation; this could be lesbian, bisexual, asexual, sapiosexual, polysexual and so on. Women: Cisgender and transgender women. Nonbinary: An umbrella term for a person who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that is neither entirely male nor female: this includes androgynous, gender non-conforming, gender fluid, agender and genderqueer. Background = Race, generation, class, ability, body, faith and so on. Mission Our organization is dedicated to championing visibility and empowerment of queer women and nonbinary people through the power of community and innovation. Vision Our vision is a world where queer women and nonbinary people feel empowered to drive change and obtain full equality and acceptance in societies where discrimination against them still prevails. ELLA Global Community aims to be the largest LBTQ+ community and network in the world. This will be achieved by connecting queer women and nonbinary people of different backgrounds with similar mentalities in spaces that are both digital and face to face.
