ILGA World launches its 2024 annual report
Summary
Dear member organisations, friends, and allies,
We are honoured to share the ILGA World 2024 Annual Report with you, where you will find a summary of our work over the past year.
From the grassroots to the international stages, throughout 2024 we continued to support our LGBTI communities worldwide, navigating together a time when reactionary forces continue to attack social justice movements and erode decades of progress.
As these actors keep using LGBTI people as scapegoats to cover up how they fail to build a better future for all, our communities are forced to be resilient. Our victories deserve even more celebrations amidst the terrifying backsliding. The work that our member organisations and communities on the ground are doing is bringing about change!
To every member organisation, every activist, and every ally: we are grateful for your existence. Every day, your work expands the space where our communities can live with dignity, flourish, and be recognised. Each day, your refusal to surrender to fear and bigotry inspires far more people than you will ever know.
Kimberly Frost and Yuri Guaiana, ILGA World co-Secretaries General
Every day, ILGA World strives to do justice to the beautiful diversity of our communities. Our battles are not ours alone, our work stands on feminist principles that we share with many other movements: the right to decide on our bodies; the practice of questioning power; and the right to be who we are and to love whom we love, in dignity. These beliefs continued to guide our actions every day in 2024 – a year of milestones for ILGA World.
Julia Ehrt, ILGA World Executive Director
ILGA World is grateful for the support of its member organisations, staff, consultants and Board and Committee members who work tirelessly to make everything we do possible.
A heartfelt shout-out and thank you goes to all the human rights defenders around the world for the time and energy they commit to advancing equality, equity, recognition and protection for persons with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics everywhere.
We would also like to thank those who have committed to making our work financially possible in 2024.
