The international human rights system is at a crossroads. The resurgence of authoritarianism, democratic backsliding, and far-right populism are reshaping multilateral institutions, including the UN.
This report by Kaleidoscope Trust critically examines the United Nations as a power system for advancing (and sometimes constraining) LGBTI+ rights globally. Drawing on political analysis, case studies, and advocacy practice, it highlights both the challenges and the opportunities for movements and allies in these turbulent times.
Despite ongoing backlash, the UN remains one of the last multilateral arenas where civil society can influence norms, shape state obligations, and hold governments accountable. For LGBTI+ communities, this means that international advocacy is not just about protection- it’s about participation and shaping the future of human rights.
The pressing LGBTI+ human rights challenges of our day can only be solved through collaboration, whether that be with grassroots or international human rights organisations, governments and funding bodies – and people that really care, like you.
Will you donate and help us create a free, safe and equal world for LGBTI+ people everywhere?
