Researcher - LGBTQ Health

Desired Outcome: The purpose of this project is to provide users with epistemic information on
religious and cultural topics in relation to rights, gender, and sexuality at a click of a button. It
seeks to create an exhaustive list of Questions to the most popular inquiries, pervasive
mythologies, and hidden truths and facts and provide answers to them in an accessible abridged,
but thoroughly researched and cited format. The Q&A segment would concentrate on most
common and pervasive inquiries, concerns, facts, and guides regarding sexual and reproductive
health and rights of queer people with an emphasis on information pertaining to accessibility
within the Arab World. The gathered information will be presented in a user-friendly and
accessible platform which will serve as a reference for users to access freely in Arabic and English
languages. Users will be able to explore answers about Sexual Transmitted Infections, Sexual
Transmitted Diseases, Chronic Diseases, Behavioral Health, Quality of Life Issues, Mental Health
challenges, Suicide, Preventative Care, Hormonal treatments, and other health-related knowledge
that is geared toward LGBTQ people.
