OUTRIGHT INTERNATIONAL

OUTRIGHT WORKS AT THE INTERNATIONAL, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL LEVELS TO RESEARCH, DOCUMENT, DEFEND, AND ADVANCE HUMAN RIGHTS FOR LGBTIQ PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. WE PARTNER DIRECTLY WITH HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS, ALLIES AND ORGANIZATIONS TO PRODUCE RELIABLE DATA ON THEIR EXPERIENCES OF LGBTIQ PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD AND SUPPORT RESEARCH-BASED ADVOCACY AND CAPACITY-BUILDING FOR LGBTIQ RIGHTS. WE FILL RESEARCH GAPS, PROVIDE TRAININGS TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ALLIES TO DEVELOP THEIR EXPERTISE, AND CONVENE KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO INFORMATION ON BEST PRACTICES RELATED TO ENDING VIOLENCE BASED ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY OR GENDER EXPRESSION, OR SEX CHARACTERISTICS. WE VIGILANTLY MONITOR AND DOCUMENT THE DISCRIMINATORY AND LIFE-THREATENING CONDITIONS LGBTIQ PEOPLE FACE IN ORDER TO SPUR ACTION TO STOP HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS WHEN THEY OCCUR.
