For over a century, the global fight for LGBTI+ rights has moved in cycles of progress and pushback. Our path to equality has never been linear, and it has never been without resistance.

Today, we stand at a critical crossroads. Around the world, we are witnessing a coordinated, well-funded effort to reverse hard-won gains: In response to this escalating crisis, Kaleidoscope Trust has launched the Global LGBTI+ Rights Commission: a time-bound, global initiative designed to understand, confront, and respond to the escalating rollback of LGBTI+ rights. At its core, the Commission seeks to answer three urgent questions:

How did we get here? What do we do now? Where do we go next?

Through these questions, the Commission will support the global community to:

  • Diagnose the roots and drivers of the global rollback
  • Consult with communities and experts worldwide
  • Produce a strategic roadmap for resisting and reversing anti-LGBTI+ trends
  • Amplify the voices of those most affected
  • Mobilise international actors to take meaningful, collective action
