As we move forward in 2020 and the further future, LGBTQ+ rights are slowly being adopted by countries around the world in an effort to achieve this sense of equality for all in social circles and in businesses. One of the people that are working to push these rights into other countries is Yvonne Muthoni, who is currently working at the Kenya location of Open for Business. In this organization, Muthoni and her teams work together with companies in African countries to implement advocate LGBTQ+ rights as a whole in the workplace and in the government. Muthoni mentions how in many places in Africa such as Kenya and Uganda, homosexuality is looked down upon and is perceived as illegal by the government. To kind of counteract this mentality, Muthoni uses a practice that is commonly known as "pinkwashing", in which you try and address the insecurites and negativity towards LGBTQ+ groups at a ground level, by trying to get the private sector to be more aware and open towards the LGBTQ+ community. By gaining that sort of momentum in the private sector, they will hopefully be able to rise and protest the government in order to achieve LGBTQ+ rights on a much larger scale. However, Muthoni also acknowledges that this does not always work, as sometimes the government just does not care, and in those circumstances they need to look for an alternative solution.

All children deserve to be in an environment where they can comfortably live and learn in, and being in an area that cannot adequately do this can affect the growth and learning of children. Lander Bosch analyzed this effect by looking at the effects that different types of pollution may have on children in the area. According to this study
