In 2022, Outright International worked with GIZ, the German Agency for International Cooperation, to provide advice regarding the inclusion of LGBTIQ populations in G7 activities. The G7 is an informal forum of leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US – that meets annually to “exchange views on global political issues and agree on common positions and goals.” This report sets out commitments made by G7 nations regarding international development activities to improve the lives of LGBTIQ people. Learn more about the report's findings.
