Description
It’s Pride Month in the northern hemisphere. For many it’s party time, but for others there are still protests and a fight for visibility. Ahead of Pride Month, ILGA World launches a major new report, ‘Laws on us: a global overview of legal progress and backtracking on sexual orientation, gender identy, gender expresision and sex characteristics’, documenting legal developments affecting LGBTQIA+ people in 193 UN member states since January 2023. The report highlights the positive legal changes as well as the backsteps in LGBTQIA+ rights, including some alarming trends. Dhia Rezki is lead coauthor and joins us to discuss the findings.
