ILGA World – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association -, a member of the ProtectDefenders.eu Consortium, is a worldwide federation of more than 1,600 organisations from over 160 countries and territories campaigning for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex human rights. We want a world where the human rights of all are respected and where everyone can live in equality and freedom: a world where global justice and equity are assured and established regardless of people’s sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions and sex characteristics.
Established in 1978, ILGA World has ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations, and their members are based in six regions: Pan Africa ILGA, ILGA Asia, ILGA-Europe, ILGALAC, ILGA North America and ILGA Oceania. Governed by an elected Board of 19 activists representing our global family, ILGA World is queer democracy in action!
