It was something I didn\u2019t plan, but I felt let me give them motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soldaat has been at the forefront of the battle against homophobic violence through Free Gender, a non-governmental organisation for lesbians that aims to fight for equal rights, and many other organisations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t fight for lesbians only, but for all communities, particularly women,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople must stop putting themselves in a certain box or saying they are fighting for lesbian rights only. They must join the community structures. If there is a youth structure in your area join it and you must be visible in the community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soldaat also advised those who still hide their sexual orientation to take their time before coming out publicly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always advise anyone who wants to come out of the closet to assess the environment that she or he is living in. You must first check if your family or community members are ready to accept you because some people suffer a lot after they come out.\u201d She says it is better for people to wait until they become independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nolundi Luvalo, one of the people who received a book, said she was so excited with the \u201cspecial gift\u201d, which she described as \u201cvery informative\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe book speaks to us gay people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt educates and motivates us. It gives us more power and strength to stand firm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luvalo also encouraged all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and Intersex+ (LGBTQI+) community to be vocal wherever they are to be recognised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Community and human rights activist Funeka Soldaat donated at least 40 copies of her book Uhambo to her organisation,
