HRC's global programs leverage our extensive knowledge, expertise and resources to support and strengthen the global movement for equality.
In spite of progress in recent years, all over the world LGBTQ+ people still face harassment, legal and societal discrimination and exclusion, violence, and sometimes death. 68 countries criminalize same-sex sexual conduct, and in up to nine countries, this may be punishable by death.
