The Global LGBTI+ Rights Commission Course is now live!

Understanding the challenge

Across the world, we are witnessing a coordinated and well-funded backlash against LGBTI+ people and communities. Hard-won rights are being rolled back, discriminatory laws are spreading, and anti-rights movements are gaining influence across political, social, and cultural spaces. These developments are not isolated incidents; they are part of a broader global trend that threatens decades of progress.

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 rollback of LGBTI+ rights worldwide.

At the heart of the Commission are three urgent questions:

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

About the course

The Global LGBTI+ Commission Course offers an introduction to this work, providing a clear and accessible way to engage with the Commission.

Through the course, participants will:

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

This course will introduce participants to the work, purpose, and vision of the Global LGBTI+ Rights Commission. It will explore the global context shaping today’s challenges, highlight the experiences of communities on the frontlines, and examine the strategies needed to protect and advance LGBTI+ rights for the future.
