The State of the Laws
ILGA’s World Legal Survey is to this day the only database on legislations affecting Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender people around the world. Accessible on www.ilga.org, the World Legal Survey is widely consulted as a resource for those working to promote LGBT rights, whether they be activists, lawyers, academics or people working in the media. We are happy to present you with one of its latest graphic versions, a world map published by the French newspaper Le Monde.
