This International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), we’re reminded that The Power of Communities is not just a theme—it’s a truth we live every day.
As the United States government retreats from decades of global human rights reporting, Outright International is stepping in with truth—powered by community.
Today, we launch our Global LGBTIQ Human Rights Country Overviews—a comprehensive snapshots of the laws, policies, and lived experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people in all 193 UN member states, plus other jurisdictions such as Palestine and the Vatican.
This is a live resource and advocacy tool. Built in collaboration with our researchers and global partners, the overviews track:
Criminalization and decriminalization of consensual same-sex relations
Legal gender recognition and protections for trans and intersex people
Civil rights like marriage, adoption, and anti-discrimination policies
Patterns of state violence, censorship, and backlash—or hopeful signs of progress
Efforts by anti-gender forces to reinforce inequality or reverse progress
