La version française suivra. Dear John, In June 2022, alongside our international partners, Egale advocated for, and signed, a global statement requesting that the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council renew its mandate of the Independent Expert on violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity (IE SOGI). In October 2022, thanks in part to our advocacy and international collaboration, the mandate for the SOGI Independent Expert was renewed! Egale also actively engages in other multilateral spaces through our membership in The Commonwealth Equality Network (TCEN), Equal Rights Coalition (ERC) civil society coalition, International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, and Intersex Association (ILGA World), and the OAS LGBTTTI Civil Society Coalition. |
