The 2024 CHOGM Shadow Report serves as an alternative voice at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), offering a counter-narrative to official government reports. It amplifies the lived experiences of LGBTI+ communities, bringing attention to issues that may be overlooked or minimised in official discourse. It also includes key recommendations for Commonwealth governments, urging them to decriminalise same-sex relationships, introduce anti-discrimination laws, and promote inclusive policies in areas such as health, education, and economic development.
To make this vital information more accessible, Kaleidoscope Trust has also produced an Executive Summary of the 2024 CHOGM Shadow Report, distilling the key findings and recommendations for a broader audience, including policymakers, donors, and media outlets. Additionally, we have created several information sheets in different languages. They are designed to be used by civil society organisations, activists, and advocates to support their work in pushing for change at both national and international levels.
