In June 2014 more than 500 NGOs endorsed a statement made at the Human Rights Council calling for a resolution on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Council listened and a resolution was passed in September 2014 calling for a new report. This report was presented on Monday 22 June 2015 at the Human Rights Council.

Now is the time to respond to this report and build momentum and support for further change!

Here is another NGO statement for your organization to sign. This statement urges the Council to act now and end the violence and discrimination suffered by LGBTI people around the world. With your help, we can ensure this statement has maximum impact.
