The week is also an opportunity to celebrate, highlight and learn from the work of groups and services which provide dedicated support to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans women.

The main focus of LBT Women’s Health Week 2019 is visibility. We are using ‘visiBiLiTy’ to highlight the B, L and T – representing the diverse women in our communities
