¿POR QUÉ NACIÓ SIETE Y CUARTO?
El Perú es uno de los pocos países en América Latina que no muestra avances legales que velen por los derechos LGBTIQ. Actualmente, la homosexualidad en América del Sur se encuentra despenalizada en todos los países a excepción de Guyana. El Matrimonio Igualitario es legal en Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Uruguay y Guayana Francesa, mientras que la Unión Civil se encuentra aprobada en Chile y Ecuador. ¿Y en el Perú?
A pesar del desaliento, la lucha de movimientos sociales en nuestro país ha significado un avance en el incremento de la visibilidad, dando mucha más esperanza a que en los siguientes años las personas LGBTIQ vivamos en igualdad de derechos. No pedimos extras, queremos lo mismo.

La igualdad es imparable e irrenunciable.
Cuando hablamos de igualdad no nos referimos únicamente a la Unión Civil o el Matrimonio Igualitario, sino también al acceso a servicios de salud y trabajo dignos, luchar contra la discriminación y violencia, conseguir una ley de Identidad de Género para todas las personas Trans, entre otros temas claves para lograr una sociedad más justa e inclusiva.
Escogimos tanto el nombre como el concepto Siete y Cuarto, porque creemos que representa la hora del día donde una persona ha terminado con sus obligaciones cotidianas y es libre para ser quien es en realidad. Creemos que esta idea representa de una manera positiva el espíritu de las historias que queremos contar en esta plataforma, abrazando las diferentes identidades como una forma de liberación.

¿QUÉ NOS DIFERENCIA?
A diferencia de algunos materiales que se han producido anteriormente sobre este tema, NO se busca tratar las diversas orientaciones e identidades sexuales que existen como un objeto de estudio ajeno, distante y hasta curioso, sino más bien se tratará de reconocer nuestras igualdades para lograr respeto. Buscaremos crear una plataforma audiovisual atractiva que incite a más gente LGBTIQ a ser visibles, eventualmente invitándolos a participar de una comunidad que se reconoce.

Hi everyone! We are Esteban, Chia and Alejandra, and we would like to join all the important work that national and international LGBTIQ movements are currently pulling together.
Therefore, El Taller and Sin Etiquetas decided to join efforts and create “Siete & Cuarto”, an inclusive web platform hosting videos that showcase true stories of the LGBTIQ community in Peru.
This is an ambitious project that aims to give a voice and a face to all the people striving for an equal and inclusive society. We want to showcase the voices and faces of those fostering respect and inclusion as the basis of a more just and equal society without any kind of violence or hate. We want to show different realities of this important community in our country, far beyond their sexual orientations and identities.
With your support, we commit to finish this first season that comprises 5 videos and the platform itself. Our dream is to produce 2 seasons per year. Therefore, we will continue looking for funding and we will certainly apply to different funds that allow us achieving our final goal.
What we need and what you get
To finish this first season and the platform, we need USD 5k. These funds will be used for finishing the videos and covering accrued expenses until now.
These expenses imply transportation, equipment rent, post production, and the creation of this amazing platform and its proper dissemination.
REWARDS:
1 USD: Helping us to write the right side of history.
10 USD: Recognition in the Siete & Cuarto platform.
20 USD: Recognition in the credits of each video during this season.
50 USD: Official tee of Siete & Cuarto.
100 USD: Choosing a photo from El Taller and the official tee of Siete & Cuarto.
Funds will be allocated to finish this first season.
WHY SIETE & CUARTO?
Peru is one of the few countries in Latin America that does not have legal progress regarding LGBTIQ rights. Currently, homosexuality in South America is decriminalized in every country except for Guyana. Equal marriage is legal in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and French Guiana, while Civil Union is duly approved in Chile and Ecuador…and how about Peru?
Despite discouragement, the continuous fight of social movements in our country has meant an incredible progress of visibility, giving much more hope for a future in which LGBTIQ people enjoy equal rights. We want to go the extra mile, we want the same.
Equity is unstoppable and sovereign
When we talk about equity, we are not just talking about Civil Union or Equal Marriage, we are also talking about access to basic services such as health and job opportunities, fighting against discrimination and violence, and pursuing a Gender Identity Law for all transsexuals. There are of course other key aspects to have a more fair and inclusive society in our radar.
We chose the name and concept of Siete & Cuarto, because it represents the time of the day when people have finished their duties and are free to be who they truly are. We believe this idea represents in a positive manner the essence of the stories we want to tell in this platform, by embracing the wide array of identities as means of freedom.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
Unlike some other materials previously produced, we DO NOT look to address different sexual orientations and identities as an unrelated, distant, or even curious subject of study, but instead we want to recognize our equalities to gain respect. We will create an attractive audiovisual platform that encourage more LGBTIQ people to raise their voices, and eventually making them part of these amazing stories.
