Promoting Empowerment Through Awareness for Lesbian and Bisexual Women (PETAL) was officially incorporated on December 29, 2015 as a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization. PETAL’s work, however, has spanned six years beginning in 2011 with several events held called “conversations” that have brought women together to discuss issues that impact them. Topics that have been covered in these conversations include cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections, gender-based violence, healthy relationships, psycho-social support for women and legal issues impacting women in Belize among others. These events have been open primarily to women who identify as lesbian or bisexual women, but PETAL’s work is intended to benefit any woman who wishes to participate in our activities.
