Annual Report 2018

ANNUAL REPORT 2018 The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Asso- ciation is grateful for the work and support of its member organisations, staff, interns and board members. A heartfelt shout-out and thank you goes to all the LGBTI activists around the world for the time and energy they commit to advancing LGBTI equality everywhere. Last but not least, our thanks to the following organisations who in particular have made our work financially possible in 2018:

8 THE FIRST 40 YEARS OF ILGA

ILGA, the oldest global organisation dedicated to achieving equal rights for LGBTI persons worldwide, has turned 40! Time has flown by since those early days in August 1978, when a group of visionaries founded the (then named) IGA in Coventry, UK during the annual conference of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality. Since then, our global family has grown to represent over 1,500 member organisations from 152 countries and territories across the globe! Many of the social, legal and political advances that have happened in the past 40 years seemed unthinkable in those early days, when activists started coordinating action at the international level, realising the power of cross-border collaboration and solidarity. Over the last four decades, ILGA’s story has been entwined in the multi- ple battles for equality across this planet. We have seen countries getting rid of unjust colonial laws that criminalised same-sex activity. Our relationships and families have started to be recognised. Activists have campaigned in the face of the often-hidden violations faced by intersex persons. Same-sex attraction stopped being considered as a mental illness or a problem to be fixed, and the same is happening for trans identities and, increasingly, intersex bodies. These changes have happened because of the tireless work of LGBTI organisations everywhere who have constantly pushed to advance equal rights for all. These are the members of ILGA, and ILGA is in fact their organisation. We have been there alongside our members through all this, working with them and for them, for the dignity of the wider community of people of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics worldwide. The world has changed because we have been there, working to change it. Together. Happy birthday, ILGA. And happy birthday to YOU!

11 RAISING LGBTI VOICES AT THE UNITED NATIONS Civil society has a crucial role in bringing about change. All over the world, activists prompt those in positions of power – including governments, international bodies and human rights institutions – to be vigilant and ensure the rights of LGBTI communities are actually protected and advanced. Authorities cannot simply pay lip service to the promise of equal rights for all. We at ILGA are a proud part of this. Throughout the year, we continued mobilising support for SOGIESC issues globally, and assisted dozens of grassroots activists as they raised their voice at the United Nations.

“The UN needs to hear your stories: there is no human rights mechanism without stories from the ground” Minhee Ryu, Rainbow Action (Republic of Korea) In 2018, ILGA continued to mainstream discussions around sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics at the Human Rights Council. We cast a light on those situations that required urgent attention, but also organised awareness-raising events, and called for strategies to 34 implement the Sustainable Development Goals in a way that truly leaves no one behind. Statements delivered at UN Human Rights Council sessions Most of all, we have been supporting human rights defenders who came to Geneva to speak up for themselves and their communities. The outcomes from these international spaces feed into their local work, and are powerful tools to bring about change there. We welcomed dozens of activists for three advocacy weeks around the 47% Universal Periodic Review, facilitating access to the 30 diplomatic missions that our United Nations programme worked with in 2018. Almost 300 SOGIESC recommendations were made to States under review, and a vast majority of them Countries represented at our UPR Advocacy Weeks which received reflected language and priorities that human rights defenders helped bring to SOGIESC recommendations the forefront. This is what hearing directly from people on the ground can do! For the second year running, ILGA also worked with APTN, GATE, RFSL and TGEU to host a week of advocacy on trans-specific issues, gathering together 23 trans and gender-diverse activists. While in Geneva, they spoke at the Hu- man Rights Council, and took part in a ground-breaking consultation on legal 19 recognition of gender identity, and depathologisation of identities convened by Countries represented by activists the UN Independent Expert on SOGI. during the UN Trans Advocacy Week 13 That same week the World Health Organization announced it was remov- ing all trans-related categories from the International Classifications of Diseas- es’ chapter on mental and behavioural disorders, a change that ILGA has been supporting for years. 110 Throughout the year, we continued to bring visibility to communities that are too often left at the margins. Our Treaty Bodies work in 2018, for example, Consultations provided to human focused especially on lesbian, bisexual and queer women: we supported LBTI rights defenders on engaging with the UN Treaty Bodies women’s human rights defenders throughout the process, and rejoiced with them as relevant recommendations were finally made for most of their countries. “ILGA did an amazing job supporting and helping me. Being my first time at the UN, at first I felt a bit overwhelmed, but ILGA’s support made my experiences extremely empowering and motivating for the future” Monica Panayi, ACCEPT (Cyprus) HEARING FROM PEOPLE Our reports on the UN Treaty Bodies showed ON THE GROUND that lesbian and bisexual women are outside the radar of these mechanisms, with little- to-no attention to their specific human rights situations. This had to change, and in 2018 ILGA worked to make the voices of LBQ women from around the world heard by the various Committees. As a result, relevant recommendations were made for most of the countries represented by these defenders. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) received one of its first-ever shadow reports focusing on lesbian, bisexual and queer women. Feminita, a feminist organisation from Kazakhstan, submitted information and, represented by Gulzada Serzhan, participated in person in a CESCR session with the support of ILGA. This proved crucial: committee members asked the defender about the root causes of situation affecting LBQ women in the country, and a set of questions was included in the List of Issues that Kazakhstan now needs to respond to. 14 THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING-UP

Receiving recommendations from UN human and global organisations to run its first recommendations, and developed strategies to rights mechanisms such as the UPR and national consultation for follow-up and turn them into actual change on the ground. Treaty Bodies can prompt many States to implementation of such recommendations. Jamaica will have its next UPR in 2020, and will do more to protect the most vulnerable. The pilot project took place in Jamaica, likely report to the Human Rights Committee However, they can be painfully slow in a country that has received many UN in 2021. In the run-up to this, civil society implementing these recommendations, and recommendations to change laws and policies will now be ready to both offer advice to the civil society plays a key role in pushing for in relation to women, children, LGBT persons government and hold it accountable for their change. and on its HIV response. For two days, 20 (in)action. The global ILGA family will be there In 2018, ILGA joined forces with both local defenders together learned more about those to support their efforts.

Positive results obtained in Geneva are one part of the solution: activists are doing deep work in their own countries, and are using outcomes at the international level to support strategies for legal and policy change locally. In 2018, ILGA increased its gathering of these good practices for following-up on and implementing the recommendations and conclusions from the Universal Periodic Review and Treaty Bodies. Such collections help empower other activists as they learn from each other on how to most strategically engage with international mechanisms.

ILGA continues to support in-country work that connects with the global level. Ahead of his country visit to Georgia, for example, both ILGA and ILGA-Europe supported activists in preparation of their report to the Inde- 10 pendent Expert on SOGI: a powerful way to make this international mandate aware of the situations on the ground. Special Procedures country visits in Throughout the year, we kept global LGBTI civil society informed about which ILGA supported human rights defenders’ engagements the work of Victor Madrigal-Borloz and facilitated his connections with our community, particularly at two ILGA regional conferences where he delivered rousing keynote speeches. We also contributed to his latest report focusing on depathologisation and on legal gender recognition of trans identities. 15 “Trans and gender diverse people have been historically marginalised from access to key resources. We express our sincere gratitude to the Independent Expert on SOGI for his contribution to changing that historical marginalisation”

Excerpt from a joint statement welcoming the report of Victor Madrigal-Borloz at the 73rd UN General Assembly The Independent Expert on SOGI is only one of dozens of mandates under the United Nations Special Procedures. ILGA has continued providing input and guidance to these other experts, ensuring that LGBTI issues continue to be mainstreamed and approached in intersectional ways as they develop international guidance on issues as diverse as freedom of expression, health and sani- tation, and connecting local defenders and groups with the mandates for expert and local support.

Beyond Geneva, our work at the United Nations also connects with the centre of power in New York. There, we joined the LBTI and Women’s Caucus- es at the Commission on the Status of Women, participating in debates and 3 co-hosting side events. Joining forces with other organisations provided crucial Events that ILGA supported at the changes in the Concluding Observation of the sessions, achieving significantly UN’s Commission on the Status of improved language on gender diversity, violence and discrimination, and inter- Women in New York sectionality. 16 ILGA continues to directly connect to communities around the world in exciting GETTING THE RIGHT ways, providing its members with key INFORMATION IN THE resources for their activism. HANDS OF ACTIVISTS We continue to keep our global family regularly informed on the deadlines, opportunities and outcomes of the many sessions at the United Nations: Universal Periodic Review, Treaty Bodies or Special Procedures. With such a complicated international system, we know how important it is for defenders to have just the key information to-hand for their advocacy. In 2018 we worked collaboratively to produce up-to-date factsheets on the SOGIESC work done by 39 Special Procedures. We also started a process to strategically rethink how our annual research publications can be most useful to the activists, researchers, media outlets and general public that are using them. Having paused publication in 2018, in 2019 you will see both the State-Sponsored Homophobia report and the Trans Legal Mapping Report, as well as an activist guide to strategic litigation at the international level, especially the UN Treaty Bodies, and the French and Arabic translations of our SOGIESC UPR Advocacy Toolkit. Stay tuned!

LOOKING AHEAD In 2019 ILGA will be at the core of mobilising and advancing international support for LGBTI persons, and working alongside activists as they use the United Nations to advance their rights. The mandate of the Independent Expert on SOGI will be renewed by the United Nations in June: this will be a key moment to reiterate the importance of this human rights mechanism, and to emphasise that States should continue supporting its life-saving work. We will increasingly be connecting the international with the local, learning from activists how they use the international system on the ground and strategically equipping a new generation of activists to change the world. 17 EMPOWERING OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY ILGA is where all our communities come together: members of our global family support each other, taking action in solidarity and demanding respect for our bodies, identities and loves. We are led by our member organisations, and have been proud to stand by each of them for another year as they kept pushing for positive political, social and institutional change. Our membership continues to develop and grow in the rich diversity that is this queer planet. About 200 organisations joined us in 2018 and our network now spans 152 countries and territories worldwide. The numbers are only the outward representation of what is happening everywhere: LGBTI people are coming together and organising, embodying the simple truth - together we can change the world. To keep pace with the ever-growing applications to join our network, we launched a streamlined membership approval procedure that also preserves the due diligence conducted on every request. Our thanks to our global Board that conducts this review! We also published the list of our members on our website, allowing easier connections among organisations while safeguarding those that need to stay anonymous. Joining ILGA opens up opportunities to access international and regional networking, trainings and capacity building opportunities, and allows grassroots organisations to participate in decision-making processes in this global LGBTI organisation. In 2018, our membership was consulted, - including through a survey - as part of the preparation of our proposed strategic plan for the coming years. Drafted by the Executive Board of ILGA, members continue to have opportunities to guide its final form in the run-up to and during the World Conference in Wellington, where a final strategic plan will be adopted. Indeed, our conferences are important networking and strategising platforms as well as places where members guide the future of the organisation. In 2018, ILGA’s regions provided hundreds of LGBTI human rights defenders with occasions to meet in Botswana, Belgium and Samoa, while our regional offices in Bangkok, Brussels, Buenos Aires and Johannesburg continued supporting members in their regional contexts throughout the year. Let’s have a closer look at their work!

For ILGA Oceania, 2018 was a year of work leading up to its third regional conference, hosted in the Samoan capital of Apia. This was a truly historic event: not only was it the first-ever ILGA gathering to take place in a Pacific island nation,

19 but it also marked the official start of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of our global family. Delegates from around the world joined human rights defenders from 13 countries in the Pacific, learning about the intersectionalities that exist in regional social justice movements, discussing with embassies on how Pacific LGBTIQ citizens can make their voices heard in the international arena and, most of all, witnessing the reality on the ground. A visit to the region of Aleipata was an eye-opening experience for many, where conference participants could hear the stories of fa’afafine who provided front-line support to coastal village communities when everything was lost in the 2009 Samoa tsunami.

“We gathered as a diverse rainbow: remembering, honoring that there have been cultural ways of holding a diversity that was stable, understood and precious” Mani Bruce Mitchell, Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand Such an important and enriching conference gave our Oceania region a new Board, and further established it as a hub for regional discussion and international advocacy for LGBTI and Indigenous communities. The whole ILGA family will soon return to the region for the 2019 World Conference, raising even more awareness of the lived realities on the ground.

20 The human rights situations of our communities are slowly, yet unstop- pably emerging in the public discourse in Africa, where human rights defenders are tirelessly advocating for change. In 2018, the continent witnessed its largest-ever gathering of LGBTI human rights defenders, as more than 300 persons came together in Gaborone, Botswana for the Pan Africa ILGA regional conference. Focused on the empowerment of LGBTI youth, the next generation who is already carrying the torch of advocacy and change, the conference was a deep dive into the many issues that affect our communities in the region – from access to education to media advocacy, from barriers to healthcare to discussions on how visibility impacts our relations with society. The importance of advocacy was also a key focus of the event, as participants received training on how to engage with relevant regional and international bodies - including the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, and the United Nations. Partici- pants met with Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the UN Independent Expert on SOGI: these meetings were a fundamental moment to inform the work of the mandate holder, as he heard of human rights situations directly from people on the ground. “The heart of Africa is beating. There is pain, but there is also joy and courage” Victor Madrigal-Borloz, UN Independent Expert on SOGI Emerging from the conference with a new Board, and with growth in staff through the year, Pan Africa ILGA has now an improved capacity to assist grassroots organisations, with a special focus on French-speaking countries and places that traditionally have been harder to reach. 2019 could mark a turning point for our communities in the region. As we write, Angola has just become the latest country to decriminalise same-sex activity, and both Kenya and Botswana are waiting the results of court cases on the issue that could prove to be real game-changers. 21 2018 was a vibrant year for ILGALAC. The region saw its non-profit status legally recognised on November 20th in Argentina: this was an historic step to strengthen the institutional and organisational work in the promotion and protection of LGBTI rights in Latin America and the Caribbean. The strengthening of structures and alliances is crucial at this time, when the struggle for equality and inclusion faces a strong increase in anti-rights movements, as well as in ‘pro- life’, political and religious fundamentalisms. Significant progress is being made in the region despite the worrying context. New laws are protecting trans communities in Chile and Uruguay, same-sex relations are now decriminalised in Trinidad and Tobago, and a landmark decision was made by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, amongst others. But we must mobilise and be on the alert for hate speech, a dangerous rhetoric about ‘gender ideology’, terrible outbursts of institutional violence, elected offi- cials who openly voice their opposition to the rights of the LGBTI community, and states that fail to implement public policies or to promote egalitarian legislation. Therefore, some of ILGALAC’s priorities in 2018 were alliances and coordination with different social movements and organisations, as well as monitor- ing the political situation. The region works in close collaboration with the LGB- TI Rapporteurship of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the LGBTTTI Coalition of the Organization of American States, ERC, SAGE, CLADE, INADI, and PGA among others. ILGALAC also created an Observatory on elections in the region, which has already monitored votes in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador, and launched the Regional Alert “No more fundamentalism and violence” on the occasion of May 17th. Together with ILGA World, ILGALAC organised a training for 19 human rights defenders from all over the region on ways to protect their digital security. It also organised the second presential meeting of the Regional Council with the regional office in Mexico, announcing that the next Regional Conference IL- GALAC 2019 will take place in Colombia. ILGALAC’s Executive Director signed framework agreements with SAGE in New York and with COPRED in Mexico City, while the region also participated in the VI Regular Meeting of the RIO- OD in Colombia and the preparatory meeting for the 3rd regional conference on Population and Development. 22 Challenging political times have also been witnessed across Europe, where populism, political complacency, attacks on democratic institutions, and rising extremisms have sadly become part of daily conversations. With our communities celebrating victories, and yet having to face a growing impunity for human rights violations, together with an ongoing hys- teria around ‘gender ideology’ and the principles of the Istanbul convention, ILGA-Europe worked to mobilise resources and strengthened the movement’s capacity with a renewed sense of urgency.

“Now is the time to invest in transforming the legal and political wins of the past decade into long-lasting, profound change in the lived experience of LGBTI people across the region”

Joyce Hamilton and Brian Sheehan, former ILGA-Europe Co-Chairs, and Evelyne Paradis, ILGA-Europe Executive Director

MAKING OUR VOICES HEARD

In the current populist, LGBTI-phobic frenzy taking place in many places around the world, we also increased efforts to make sure that the thoughtful, grounded and inclusive LGBTI voices of our communities are amplified across media platforms.

During the year, we connected with journalists from leading media outlets, as well as contributed to numerous publications, exposing a potential readership of hundreds of millions to LGBTI perspectives, stories and data. As our followers grew by a resounding 24% during the year, we made sure that social media played a central role in the way we are communicating. 23 ph. Laurent Achedjian (Out of the Blue) / ILGA-Europe

In 2018, ILGA-Europe awarded 86 grants to LGBTI groups across Europe and Central Asia, and supported dozens of in-country campaigns through its Creating Opportunities programme. A first meeting of European networks working on LGBTI rights was convened to discuss organisational development, governance and fundraising. Over 200 activists participated in study visits and trainings, and more than 500 human rights defenders joined webinars on strategic communications, fine-tuning their skills to frame messages that can change hearts and minds. Work on strategic litigation went hand in hand with a review of the region’s strategic plan, always with an ongoing effort to highlight those in our communities who are still at times left invisible. Intersectionality was once more at the core of the annual regional conference, where 550 human rights defenders came together to issue a strong call for change – right at the heart of the Euro- pean political system.

Both fundamental victories and alarming setbacks have also taken place in Asia: while 2018 was the year when India made history by decriminalising consensual same-sex activity, and Pakistan passed a progressive law to support trans persons, those claiming to defend ‘family values’ led Taiwan to a halt in the road towards marriage equality. Amidst this complicated political and social climate, ILGA Asia continued to support activists across the region, providing them with opportunities to share best practices on policy advocacy and social campaigning, and also provide them with skills and knowledge to work with various UN bodies and mechanisms. 24 The region also began focusing its work on the health and well-being of LGBTI human rights defenders, providing the space for self-care during all trainings and events it organised during the year. Among these were the first-ever Asia Intersex Forum, and another primer: a regional meeting dedicated to empowering parents of LGBTI persons, which was held in Viet Nam in August. All across Asia, activists are challenging the false narrative that parents who love their children must protect them from a supposed problematic ‘LGB- TI lifestyle’, even if it means disowning them. Parents who have overcome their own stigma become some of the most powerful allies for our communities, and have a huge impact on society. This meeting allowed parents to exchange their stories, learn from each other and become even more aware that they are not alone in the battle to support their children. The Asian region is growing in its capacity to support grassroots organisations. In 2018, ILGA Asia finally obtained registration as a non-profit foundation in Thailand, and welcomed a new Communications officer to the team. Meanwhile, the Board strengthened its governance structures, developing its standing orders, reviewing the implementation of a new strategic plan, and starting work towards the region’s next conference in Seoul, South Korea in Au- gust 2019.

25 2018 proved to be a time of transition for ILGA North America, as Canada and the United States charted divergent courses in response to the human rights of LGBTI communities. Although the United States still showed signs of progress (particularly in terms of banning ‘conversion’ therapy in several States, or with Califor- nia becoming the first State to pass a resolution supporting the autonomy of intersex people), signs of backlash and of scapegoating trans persons became more and more evident in a national climate of unleashed populism. In Canada, on the other hand, the battle seems to have shifted into the education field and the protection of LGBTI students, although thankfully the federal government keeps showing support towards our communities, especially in its role as co-chair of the Equal Rights Coalition. when both the UN Secretary The Women’s Secretariat en- Against this political climate, General António Guterres and the gaged in international advocacy, ILGA North America has retooled its High Commissioner for Human Rights joining more than 30 human rights leadership, going through profound Michelle Bachelet unequivocally reit- defenders in the LGBTI Coalition that discussions on its strategy and goals, erated their support for our commu- participated in the 48th General As- building an advisory board and identi- nities. sembly of the Organization of Ameri- fying the key issues that our member- can States. ship believes the region should tackle.

26 More work was done also in New York, as the Secretariat joined an advocacy week to meet with representatives of UN Women, the LGBTI Core Group, members of the Equal Rights Coalition and representatives of several permanent missions. Knowing the importance of serv- ing communities on the ground, the week also built the Secretariat’s capacity in terms of digital security and burnout preventions – skills that will now be shared with grassroots activists.

ph. UN Web TV 27 In March 2018, the Bisexual Secretariat joined forces with ILGA World for an historic first: an event to specifically address the human rights situation of bisexual persons. Activists from Mexico, the United States, Bolivia, Iran and Serbia joined a panel discussing how a climate of biphobia and invisibility faced by bisexual persons across the globe hinders their enjoyment of fundamental human rights. The event was also the occasion to launch a report by the Secretariat addressing both global and regional situations for the bisexual community, and to meet with staff of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Hu- man Rights. Those meetings further consolidated partnerships with the UN Free & Equal programme, which released its first-ever initiative dedicated to bisexual persons’ human rights on the occasion of 2018’s Bi Visibility Day. Our Secretar- iat provided them with input both for an awareness campaign and a factsheet that circulated worldwide.

2018 proved to be a year of significant advances for the intersex community, in spite of some setbacks in the development of protection of their human rights. UN bodies regularly questioned and issued recommendations to States regarding human rights violations against intersex people, especially about intersex genital mutilation. California became the first state in the United States to condemn non-consensual surgeries. However, the World Health Organiza- tion missed yet another chance to end the pathologisation of people with diverse sex characteristics, and even progressive laws left many questions open. Amidst all this, our Intersex Secretariat continued to mobilise both in-country and at the international level, facilitating dialogue among organisations from across the world. It also made sure that the community stood beside the wider rainbow family in moments of pride, joining the first intersex float to ever participate at the Utrecht Canal Pride in the Netherlands.

28 Intersex defenders from across the world are raising their voices more and more, and the similarities among the many recent regional statements setting out the priorities for the movement are indeed striking. ILGA will continue supporting the community in their demand to see their human rights respected!

The future will bring an important shift in the governance of ILGA: the four Secretariats will evolve into Steering Committees, and a fifth one will be created to tackle youth issues. From one single member organisation coordinating with the ILGA head- quarters and regions regarding specific thematic concerns, to a group of persons where all our regions will be represented: this is how we will speak with just one voice and yet represent all of us in our diversity!

An exciting 2019 awaits us all: we will meet soon at the ILGA World Conference in Aotearoa New Zealand, and we are looking forward to reuniting our global family! In Wellington, our membership will vote on our new strategic plan, elect the new ILGA World board, celebrate our first 40 years and discuss strategies for change.

An important evolution in our governance is LOOKING about to come into force: our Secretariats will evolve into Steering Committees, which will AHEAD ensure regional diversity and representation in international Bisexual, Intersex, Trans, Women and Youth discussions.

ILGA will also be working with partners towards the renewal of the SOGI Independent Expert mandate, and is preparing new regional conferences in South Korea, Colombia and the Czech Republic. We are sure that 2019 won’t be without challenges, but we are ready to face them, supporting our global family as we push forwards. Only together, we can bring about change. We are here to do our part: will you join us? 29 OUR ILGA The full list of ILGA member organisations is available at FAMILY ilga.org and on the following pages of this report.

47 IN LOVING MEMORY

In early 2018, ILGA and the world of activism mourned the loss of Kürşad Kahramanoğlu, an LGBT human rights defender from Turkey who played a crucial role in the ILGA family for many years.

A passionate activist, trade unionist and leader of our communities, he served as Secretary General of ILGA from 1999 to 2006: one of the longest-running persons in this role.

With Kürşad’s passing, ILGA lost one of its leaders: a person who worked relentlessly to fight racism and advance the rights of our communities. In our 40th year we lost a member of our family and part of our history. We pledge to honour his legacy through our work. Our condolences go to all who have been touched by Kürşad’s presence over the years.

To Kürşad, and the many other members of the LGBTI community that we lost in 2018, we simply say: you will be remembered.
