HRC is working to leverage our domestic LGBTQ work to have an international impact.

International

There are millions of LGBTQ people around the world who are gaining visibility and fighting for their rights but some live in fear and isolation – and under the rule of governments that criminalize their very identities. HRC Global strengthens the global equality movement through public education, advocacy, fellowships, partnerships and research. HRC is a proud member of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA) and a founding member of the Council for Global Equality.
