The UN Human Rights Council once again reaffirms its commitment to combating discrimination and violence on the grounds of SOGI, and reminds all States of their obligations towards LGBT and gender-diverse people

The Third Committee of the UN General Assembly adopted the resolution presenting the Annual Report of the Human Rights Council today without challenge to the extension of the mandate

In July 2019, our communities won a historic victory with the  renewal of the mandate of the Independent Expert on SOGI: a new report by ARC International, ILGA World and ISHR explains how the process played out

“This is another historic victory, not only for communities of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, but for humanity as a whole”

Join the CSOs urging the Human Rights Council to renew the mandate of the Independent Expert on violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity during its 41st session

Since 2016, the UN Independent Expert on SOGI has assisted States to better protect people from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. This work can't stop now!
