In every region of the world, parliamentarians and other relevant actors are taking concrete steps to advance the human rights and inclusion of LGBTI people. Here you will find short stories describing these actions, whether in the form of videos or case studies.
The case studies vary in approach and style, as the strategies that individual parliamentarians have used are framed to suit their respective needs and contexts. Some of the examples may be relevant in a wide range of countries, while others may have a more limited applicability. As many of the examples reflect, you can benefit from establishing ongoing communication with civil society organizations that serve LGBTI communities. Their knowledge and direct experience of discrimination is essential to understanding the LGBTI population’s challenges and needs and the particular context – thereby enabling you to legislate accordingly.
