ICS Center is an organisation that protects and promotes the rights of LGBTI+ people (gay and lesbian people, bisexual people, transgender people and gender-diverse people) in Vietnam. With a mission to connect and build a community of LGBTI+ people who live positively, are respected and develop fairly across many aspects of society.

For the community. By the community.

Established in 2011, with the ICS Group as its predecessor, whose members represented community forums, ICS Center focuses on changing social awareness through communications activities.

For Pride and Equality.
