Executive Director, Outright International

“The Ugandan government, through the passage of the Anti-Homosexuality Act, is intentionally barring the LGBTQ minority from access to services, housing, education, and inclusion in society. Outright welcomes the World Bank's decision to stand by its commitment to inclusivity and non-discrimination. Hopefully, the Ugandan government, and any other governments considering similar laws, will recognize that development can only be successful if no one is left behind.”

Our Insights and Commentaries ([link removed])
[link removed]
In the face of crises, vulnerable communities bear the brunt of the impact and often are left behind during recovery. For the LGBTIQ community, this vulnerability can be exacerbated by pre-existing stigma and discrimination, combined with a lack of understanding among mainstream humanitarian agencies. This is why Outright is pioneering critical approaches to humanitarian action. Read more ([link removed]) and donate to our LGBTIQ Ukraine Emergency Fund ([link removed]) .
