It understands that many people worked tirelessly (and often without financial gain) to change attitudes and Government policy to understand that regardless of the negative stereotypes, equal rights are human rights. The work of InterPride is also wide reaching. Through our mem- ber organizations, InterPride plays a part in changing the world – piece by piece, pride by pride. This is a responsibility we take very seriously and are truly grateful for the opportunity to assist our members whenever they need it. This will be truly high- lighted next year as Pride London hosts the 2012 WorldPride event. This year we have had to make some organizational changes. Some of these decisions have not been easy pills to swallow. The support of the Board has been vital and we thank everyone Introduction for playing their part in the decision making process. What we hope will result is a stronger organization which has policies Just recently we were asked what the word “pride” means. If and procedures in place to ensure its sustainability and you asked a hundred people this question you would receive a longevity. With the Board’s continuing vigilance, InterPride will hundred different answers. What pride means to an individual continue to be able to play its role in the World Pride Movement is as unique as their own life experience and identity. for many years to come.

Previous research has illustrated the link between high levels of structural violence and structural stigma to increased risk of diseases such as the link between African-Americans and heart disease. This study investigates the relationship between systemic homophobia and HIV transmission rates. Through operationalizing homophobia into seven distinct factors, I evaluated systemic homophobia in six countries, assigning a score 1-10 to each factor using secondary source aggregation.
