The globally coordinated campaign to have the mandate of the UN Inde- pendent Expert on Sexual Orienta- tion and Gender Identity renewed, our presence in international human rights bodies, the authoritativeness of our research and the reach it has on media outlets across the world are all testament to the resilience and im- pact of this organisation. In the face of ongoing attacks against the human rights of those with diverse SOGIESC, our relationship with our membership has deepened as well as grown by 127 over the past year, reaching 1,622 organisations. These members, supported by our six regions, are the true founda- tion of our movement. Through their activism, the global ILGA family is able to advance LGBTI human rights from the grassroots level all the way through to the United Nations and back again as we use multiple tools, fora and strategies to truly make the world a better place for LGBTI per- sons everywhere.

Of course, writing from 2020 I would be hard-pressed to not mention the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected life in every country and severely impacted the advocacy work of our members. While many of the gatherings we had planned have had to be cancelled or postponed, we have worked on exciting ways for our glob- al family to come together – including a series of roundtables and advocacy webinars, and a collection of resourc- es for your remote working and well- being. We have been a platform for you to share positive messages for our communities, continued to conduct research and advocacy work in inter- national fora, and to raise your voices on media worldwide. And we are at the frontlines reminding governments why Covid-19 relief efforts must be LGBTI-inclusive, and that any efforts to shape the world for the better after this crisis must not leave us behind. We are still here. And we remind all of you that we are indeed in this together, and that we all should be operating in that spirit. That we need to keep looking out for each other, our communities, our neighbours and our planet. Having been privileged enough to have met hundreds of our members in my time so far as Executive Director, I know that our family will prevail through

13 This work has often paved the way towards change: countries have listened, made recommendations on issues that human rights defenders felt most pressing, and the follow-up work on the ground has made sure that those recommendations were implemented.

Through 2019, momentum around the decriminalisation of con- sensual same-sex relations had been building up in Bhutan. The country was also up for its Universal Periodic Review, and ILGA World supported human rights defenders coming to Geneva to raise the issue at the global level. Activists wanted international support to help Bhutan realise how criminalising provisions affect our communities in the country, and to push their many years of work over the finishing line. This advocacy work resulted in 16 recommendations by UN member States to decriminalise and to take anti-discrimination provisions. All of these were accepted by Bhutan, and one month after the UPR, the coun- try’s National Assembly repealed two articles of the Penal code that crimi- REAL-WORLD RESULTS nalised same-sex relationships.

The Universal Periodic Review is a process allowing for member States to see their human rights record re- viewed by fellow States on a cyclical basis, and for each of them to declare what actions they have taken to im- prove the situation in their countries. Since 2015, with the support of different partners, ILGA World has organised advocacy weeks around this human rights mechanism: activists from countries up for review are given trainings and special access to diplomats from more than 20 supportive governments, who then make formal recommendations to the activists’ home countries, helping local advocacy efforts.

14 LOOKING AHEAD:

2020 will see ILGA World continue to work alongside ac- tivists at the United Nations to advance their rights, and engage in international spaces to keep mobilising and advancing support for our communities. As the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we started shifting our trainings towards online spaces, through a series of webinars and roundta- bles to help our members engaging more effectively within the UN system. We also have worked with other NGOs to ensure that the UN and governments remain open to civil society in digital ways as we see physical shutdowns. We will increasingly be connecting the global with the “If the world is truly committed to leaving no local, making sure that also the most marginalised communities one behind, it can’t shy away from addressing amongst us – especially LBTIQ the violence and discrimination that we face. women - have the opportunities and the necessary tools to engage Laws criminalising our identities and actions in international fora, mobilize glob- are unjust and should no longer be tolerated” al support and follow-up to make change happen on the ground.

Our communities have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in unique ways, and have become particularly vulnerable to being left behind. Every member organisation had to quickly focus on adjusting their strategies to the new realities of uncertainty and complexity. This will continue for months and possibly years to come.

Meanwhile, the work of our communities continues. It simply cannot stop. But we cannot do it without your support.

With a donation, you will help ILGA World support activists from across the world as they raise awareness of LGBTI human rights violations at the United Nations. You will back us as we keep conducting research into laws and attitudes affecting LGBTI persons around the globe, and on how international bodies consider their human rights. You will help us make our conferences, training programmes and advocacy campaigns sustainable.

We are in this together, and only together can we bring about change. We are here to do our part: will you chip in?
