Thanks and acknowledgements
The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association is grateful for the work
and support of its volunteers, staff and executive board. A heartfelt thank you goes to the members of
ILGA not only for their financial support, but also for the time and energy they commit to furthering the
organisation’s aims and objectives.
Last but not least, our thanks to the following organisations:
02 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
Advancing equality
The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,Trans and Intersex Association
(ILGA) is a worldwide federation of organisations committed to
equal human rights for LGBTI people and their liberation from all
forms of discrimination.

ILGA Annual Report 2015 | 03
D
ear friends,
ILGA is built on the energy and
passion of its global membership
and this year’s Annual Report
captures the interactions and dynamics present in every aspect of
our work. Passionate and restless
activists, along with partners,
allies and families, continue to
have a profound impact on many
LGBTIQ lives around the world.
2015 was marked with groundbreaking moments around the
world, and we take this opportunity to salute our members and
activists who have worked for
years to achieve these. Whilst we
celebrate the successes, we continue to recognise the tireless and
unseen work carried out in countries and communities facing injustices, setbacks or backlashes.
We also remember the lives taken
away by hate-motivated crimes
and continue to celebrate these
lives through our work.
04 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
ILGA represents networks,
movements, communities, and
bodies that continue to challenge
oppressive and discriminatory
systems, practices and norms
that exclude, outlaw, mutilate
and kill LGBTIQ people. Around
the world, LGBTIQ movements
and communities are led by those
who fight these injustices.
Their commitment and work help
strengthen the links between local, national, regional and international communities of activists,
and this is what ILGA is about.
The work carried out at our office
in Geneva and the regional offices in Bangkok, Brussels, Buenos
Aires and Johannesburg reflects
this complex web that is the global LGBTIQ movement.
This report represents one year
in the work of this organisation
that continues to represent
ever-changing and ever-growing communities and movements determined to help shaping a world where everyone can
live safely, equally and free.
In the last year, we developed
new partnerships, embarked
on new projects, increased our
capacity and strengthened our
governance structures, aiming
at continuing to strengthen the
38-year-old legacy that ILGA has.
We continue to be encouraged
and inspired by all the positive
energy that our movements
represent, and we will continue to ensure that ILGA remains
a global leader for the LGBTIQ
movement.
In Solidarity,
Ruth Baldacchino,
Helen Kennedy
Co-Secretaries General
A
t the end of the second
year of its 2014-2018 Strategic plan, ILGA finds itself
in a process of sustained growth,
both in terms of membership
and activities. While members
have grown from 1,112 to 1,167,
the number and kind of activities
has expanded considerably: advocacy at the UN Human Rights
Council is no longer limited to the
Universal Periodic Review and to
lobbying activities in support
of resolutions, but covers also
Treaty Bodies; the content of the
State Sponsored Homophobia
report increases in extension
of the issues covered and in the
depth of the information provided, while ILGA partners with a Canadian data corporation, RIWI, to
launch a global attitudes survey
on LGBTI people in 65 countries
as an innovative tool to acquire
essential data for NGOs and allies to measure the effectiveness
of their work on the ground and
to improve on it. The increasing
interest and capacity in dealing
with LGBTI-related data at the
global level has also led us to
cooperate on a project about a
global LGBTI inclusion index promoted by the United Nations Development Programme.
At the same time, the connection of ILGA with its Trans members and non-member organisations is revitalised thanks to the
launch of the Gender Identity and
Gender Expression programme,
while the newly established Intersex secretariat confirms its
relevance within the global Intersex movement. The regional
structures of ILGA in the global
South are successfully building their capacity, especially in
the case of Pan Africa ILGA, to
provide the members in their regions with more opportunities
to meet, to share and acquire
new knowledge and skills and to
better coordinate their advocacy
in relation to their respective
regional human rights bodies,
while the participation of ILGA
in the consortium of NGOs
behind the EU funded initiative
ProtectDefenders.eu provides us
for the first time with concrete
tools to help and support LGBTI
human rights defenders in difficulty or even in danger.
This process of growth, however,
does not come without challenges: the expansion of activities
requires on the one hand both
greater professionalism and increased funding to implement
them, while posing the risk of
stretching the energies of the organisation too thin.
We like to look at these challenges as opportunities: the
increased visibility of ILGA and
the relevance of its work will
attract new funders and professionals willing to work for us,
while the check and balances of
our governance will ensure that
the new activities remain within
the possibility of the organisation and centred on our mission.
This process of growth would not
be possible without the leadership of the co-secretaries general and the board, the dedication
and professionalism of the staff
members and – ultimately – the
support of the whole membership: these three elements are
and will continue to be the key ingredients of ILGA’s success.

Our regions
ILGALAC
In 2015 Latin America and the Caribbean took giant leaps forward:
the Civil union pact was approved
in Chile, the ban on blood donations
from LGBTI persons was dropped
in Argentina, and Jamaica held the
country’s first Pride parade. The
regional council of ILGALAC supported initiatives like the adoption of an employment quota for
trans people by the Province of
Buenos Aires (Argentina), or the
project to increase punishments
for aggravated crimes based on
homophobia in El Salvador.
2015 was a busy year also in
ILGALAC’s office: our first press
dossier about LGBTI adoptions
in Colombia was published; we
revamped our website, issued
weekly regional news bulletins
and launched our social media
campaign #SomosILGALAC. We
published two books about labour
rights of LGBTI persons, in cooperation with ISP, and organised a
ph. ILGALAC
08 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
forum on lesbian and bisexual
health during an international
meeting in the Dominican Republic.
We were also involved in a report

and gender identity in Uruguay,
and we contributed to the birth
of the Regional Centre for LAC in
cooperation with Civicus and
Counterpart International.
like the writer Pedro Lemebel,
or the murders of trans activists
Francela Méndez from El Salvador and Diana Sacayán from
Argentina.
Our council members were involved also at the international
level: they took part both in the
CSW and in the 7th Summit of the
Americas, as well as in the Regional conference on Population and
development in LAC and in the European Governmental LGBT Focal
Points Network. The Executive
Director signed a cooperation
agreement with INADI in Argentina, and held meetings with the
World Bank, Open Society Foundation, IDB, Human Rights First,
USAID, HRCampaigne and OAS.
2014 was a groundbreaking year
for ILGA-Asia: its first office
was opened in Hong Kong, and
later registered with the local
authorities.
Building on the momentum, 2015
marked other important steps
for the region. ILGA-Asia hired
its first-ever office coordinator,
Sattara Hattirat, and worked
throughout the year to develop
its organisational structures,
looking to make its spaces more
democratic and inclusive for both
members and non-members.
Sadly, this year was marked also
by terrible losses of activists and
key members of our community,
These were the guidelines under
which the 6th regional conference was organised: the event
ILGA Asia
ph. Tongzhi Hotline
took in Taiwan in October,
gathering more than 360 activists
and human rights defenders
who took part in three days of
workshops and roundtables, and
then joined tens of thousands
people marching in the Taipei
Pride parade.
A new board was also elected
during the conference: its members immediately carried on the
work of their predecessors to
implement ILGA-Asia’s strategic and action plan, aiming to
see the region grow more and
more as a relevant advocacy
member-based LGBTIQ organisation, serving and addressing
the needs and priorities of communities in the continent.
ILGA Oceania
Despite being the smallest in
terms of population, ILGA Oceania
is perhaps the most diverse
among all the organisation’s
regions, spanning across a wide
range of time zones, islands and
cultures.
It should come as no surprise,
then, that ILGA Oceania has
worked since its very first moments to see the diversity of
cultural values being more and
more respected within the human rights framework. During
2015, such efforts were made
both towards the organisation
and outwards: as much as region
representatives
joined
the
Pacific UN Free & Equal campaign, and they committed to
audit all of the organisation’s
communications for oppressive
language.
The last twelve months saw the
representation of the Oceania
region growing within the ILGA
family, and enter more and more
the field of vision of international
funders. An amazing result, that
could not have happened without the constant commitment
of grassroots activists: we are
grateful to them all, and owe a
special “thank you” to those who
started working three months in
advance to make the 2016 ILGA
Oceania conference possible.
The whole community has taken
the work done by the former ILGA
ANZAPI and is building on that
momentum, to see the human
rights of LGBTI persons advance
both in the region and internationally. The fires have indeed
been stoked and ILGA Oceania is
a region to watch in the future.

ILGA Annual Report 2015 | 09
Our regions
Pan Africa ILGA
Big news for Pan Africa ILGA
broke on a late July day: the
application it had filed months
before was approved and granted.
Starting 2015, Pan Africa ILGA
is registered as a non-profit
organisation: a tremendous gain
benefitting both the organisation
and its members, most of which
still face state-imposed restrictions on their abilities to function
as legitimate partners in civil
society in their countries.
Such a victory made the organisation as strong as ever: a new
coordinator and a communications officer were appointed, and
the secretariat began operating
in a Johannesburg, South Africa
office shared with Iranti-Org.
Pan Africa ILGA worked throughout the year to strengthen its
advocacy initiatives. In June 2015,
it conducted its first training
on the UN human rights bodies,
bringing together activists from
14 countries due for their Universal Periodic Review. A training
on African human rights mechanisms was also organised, with 25
LGBTI human rights defenders
convening in Abuja, Nigeria to
learn more on how to engage with
the African Commission on Human
and Peoples’ Rights. Finally, the
organisation held a pre-conference at the Changing Faces –
Changing Spaces conference in
Kenya, exploring how to look at
the struggle to advance the human
rights of LGBTI people through a
pan-African lens.
10 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
ph. Pan Africa ILGA
While busy preparing its 2016
regional conference, Pan Africa
ILGA also launched The personal
is political, a series of roundtable
forums for human rights defenders to explore challenges and opportunities in building a powerful
and resilient LGBTI movement in
the continent.
ILGA North America
2015 will be remembered as the
year same-sex marriage arrived
in the United States. While we
have all celebrated this victory,
we have not forgotten that the
struggle towards equality is still
far from over.
This is why our region represented ILGA at two hemispheric
human rights meetings of the
Organization
of
American
States, where we worked on establishing relationships with the
OAS LGBTI coalition, advocated
on pro-SOGI resolutions and pressed for legislative reform to
protect the bodily autonomy of
intersex children.
Our advocacy work reached even
further: we intervened at the UN
Human Rights Committee’s review
of Canada’s non-compliance with
the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights, we participated in Education International’s
world congress and we joined a
meeting on LGBTI human rights in
Honduras with the US embassy.
We built relationships with
labour organisations, drafting
a cooperation agreement with
the Americas office of Public
Services International, and we
made our voices heard, working
with civil society organisations
in the review of the Canadian
government’s obligations under
the UN’s Treaty on economic and
social rights.
ph. ILGA North America
ILGA-Europe
After a busy year, a number of
challenges still lies ahead: we will
be producing a guide to navigating the Organization of American
States that is conscious of religious
rights strategies, and we commit
to building stronger partnerships
with ILGA LAC to better work together not only within the OAS,
but also for the forthcoming Miami
2017 OutGames.
We will also be advocating new
ILGA World membership guidelines, so that our members particularly those in marginalized
communities - find more voice at the
organisation’s world conference.
The ever-growing regional LGBTI
movement has to operate in
times of political confusion: in
2015, the fact that human rights
defenders struggle to make their
voices heard was all too evident.
Nevertheless, the movement
scored some important victories in the bygone year, too.
Just to mention a few: Ireland
voted for marriage equality and
introduced gender recognition
legislation based on self-determination; Malta extended legal
protection to trans and intersex
people; Cyprus and Greece
approved civil unions for samesex couples.
Having to deal with such a everchanging environment, ILGAEurope followed in pursuit
to keep LGBTI equality at the
top of the EU’s agenda, engaging
with European Union’s bodies,
grassroots civil society organisations and national policy-makers.
Since the 2014 annual conference in Riga, ILGA-Europe organised 13 conferences and as much
training sessions; had meetings
with 10 national governments
and with several high-level
officials; submitted 43 policy
papers to different European
public consultations, as well as
6 third-party interventions to
the European Court of Human
Rights; re-granted 45 grants for
projects carried out by member
and partner organisations, and
created three new programmes
to provide resources to LGBTI
persons and their allies.
ILGA-Europe created alliances
with NGOs working in the areas
of women’s rights, sexual and
reproductive health and faithbased groups to see how they
can work together to increase
support for choice and dignity for
all in Europe.
Among all this, ILGA-Europe also found the time to organise
its first-ever fundraising Gala, to
hold its annual regional conference in Athens and to move its
team of 17 persons into a new office space in Brussels.
A great body of work, which
ILGA-Europe will build upon
throughout 2016: a year that will
bring new challenges to the LGBTI
movement in the region, and that
will also mark the organisation’s
20th anniversary.

Regional conferences
ILGA-Europe: Athens, 28-31 October 2015
Let the numbers speak for themselves: with more than 450 registered participants from 53 countries, dozens of speakers and over
40 workshops held in just four
days, 2015 has seen the biggest
ILGA-Europe conference to date.
Hosted by OLKE in collaboration
with a handful of other organisations in Athens, Greece, the
conference and its sheer size provided a clear illustration of how
strong the European LGBTI movement can be, especially when it
opens conversations with allies.
As the goal of equality is fiercely
threatened by opposition groups,
ILGA-Europe recognised the
need to work to ensure that the
whole LGBTI movement benefits
legal, political and social change:
no one must be left behind, and
this is why Many voices, one
movement - Together, mobilised
for a just society was chosen as
the theme of the conference.
Workshops and sessions were
organised to explore intersectionality issues and to offer
ph. ILGA-Europe and Tongzhi Hotline
12 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
more visibility to minority groups
within the LGBTI community, and
the first ILGA-Europe Diversity Awards, bestowed on LGBTI
People With Disabilities, was
presented in an effort to recognise good practices in promoting
inclusiveness.
The four days in Athens, then,
also saw Darienne Flemington,
DraganaTodorovic, Yuri Guaiana,
Vladimir Simonko and Micah
Grzywnowicz being elected new
ILGA-Europe board members.
Meanwhile, in an unprecedented
show of support for the rights
of LGBTI people, representatives from all the main Greek
parliamentary parties signed an
equality pledge during the conference, committing to advance
registered partnership, family
law reform, legal gender recognition and combating discrimination in the country. Less than
two months after the announcement, Greece became the 26th
European country to recognise
same-sex partnerships.
ILGA Asia: Taipei, 28-30 October 2015
In late October, 362 delegates
of LGBTI organisations from
around the world - as well as
representatives of UN agencies, governments, the ASEAN
SOGIE caucus, the European
Union and national human rights
souls and bodies of LGBTI
persons who still suffer from
stigma, pathologisation and many more human rights violations.
During the conference, member
organisations adopted a plan to

Secretariats
Women’s
secretariat
United and Strong INC (Saint Lucia)
represented by Kenita Placide
A just society cannot be developed
without the empowerment of
all women. And yet, even today,
women and girls are still experiencing inequality and harsh realities throughout the world. LBTI
women face even higher risks of
being subject to violence and discrimination on various levels, and
this - as the Women’s secretariat
of ILGA highlighted in a statement delivered during the 29th
session of the UN Human Rights
Council - is something that
“neither cultural diversity nor
freedom of religion” can justify.
The Women’s secretariat worked
throughout 2015 to bring to the
fore how multiple forms of violence and discrimination affect
the lives of lesbian, bisexual, trans
and intersex women, and to raise
awareness of the specific struggles facing them.
This happened first and foremost on the international level:
the secretariat engaged with
governments and civil society
representatives at the 59th session of the Commission of the
Status of Women, and was consulted during the works that will
eventually lead to the adoption
of the UNDP LGBTI Inclusion Index. It also took part in the inaugural Commonwealth Women’s
Forum, and participated in the
first People’s Forum to ever host
sessions on LGBTI perspectives,
held a few days ahead of the
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Malta.
The secretariat was also involved
in organising the third Caribbean
Women and Sexual Diversity Conference: hosted together with
CariFLAGS Eastern Caribbean
Hub and Womantra, with the support of the Women’s Caucus of
Trinidad and Tobago, the conference allowed more than 50 LBT
women and straight allies from
all over Latin America and the Caribbean to come together, share
their experiences in advocating
human rights, join forces and
strategize on how to pursue the
freedom and liberty of all women.
Intersex
secretariat
MULABI - Espacio Latinoamericano
de Sexualidades y Derechos
(Costa Rica)
represented by
Natasha Jiménez Mata
One of 2015’s groundbreaking
moments saw Malta becoming
the first country in the world to
approve a law prohibiting normalizing genital surgeries on
intersex infants. Much more work
still lies ahead, though, and ILGA’s
first-ever Intersex secretariat
committed tirelessly throughout
2015 to raising awareness and
advancing the human rights of
intersex persons.
The secretariat took part in the
Forum on Civil Society at the
pre-Summit of the Americas and
in June, soon before delivering
a statement at the UN Human
Rights Council in response to
the High Commissioner’s report
on female genital mutilation, it
joined a meeting with the Special
Rapporteur on the right to health.
These efforts paved the way for
the unprecedented events that
followed: during his opening
statement at the 30th session
of the Human Rights Council, the
ph. Facebook / Kenita Placide
14 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
High Commissioner for Human
Rights specifically talked about
intersex persons. Two days later,
the first UN-convened expert
meeting on intersex was held.
While continuing to work at a
United Nations’ level, the secretariat also supported the Intersex
European Forum that gathered
dozens of activists in the French
city of Douarnenez, and took part
in a meeting of LGBTI political
leaders in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
An Intersex workshop, then, took
place during the ILGA Asia Intersex
pre-conference: the event marked
an unprecedented chance for community members in the region to
share stories and resources, and
culminated in an Intersex Asia
Coming Out Day, when six activists
were invited to the stage of the biggest Pride parade in the region and
were introduced to nearly 80,000
people marching for equality.
Trans secretariat
STRAP – Society of Transsexual
Women Philippines (Philippines)
represented by Mikee Inton and
Brenda Alegre
In essence, the Trans secretariat
had a good year. Good, as it got
exposed to current issues faced
by trans people worldwide; and
good, as it was able to connect
human rights defenders and
organisations from around the
world, and helped them network.
The overarching theme of intersectionality as an approach to
human rights advocacy, a guiding
principle for all of the organisation’s work, surfaced many times
during the year also for the secretariat, and especially during the
ILGA-Asia Trans pre-conference.
The event was attended by
more than 40 human rights
defenders and activists, who
issued a statement – consistent
with the Cape Town declaration
- to support the ban of gender
identity diagnoses in the International Classification of
Diseases (ICD-10). It was a truly
defining moment, marking the
commitment of the secretariat to
supporting the global movement
fighting against gender incongruence in childhood.
In 2015, the secretariat also gave a
talk on a panel at the Commission
of the Status of Women, and took
part in meetings with UNDP, UN
Women and Unicef; it was represented at the ILGA-Europe conference, and it joined the conversation
about the fight against fundamentalism at the Outsummit. All these
occasions allowed the secretariat
to highlight best practices in advocacy, and also to connect with human rights defenders committed
to advancing equality. This network
will surely of help in furthering the
secretariat’s new project on Trans
Terminologies, a collection of
write-ups from around the world
about local terms that refer to
trans or trans-like identities.
Currently in the works, it will hopefully be launched at the 2016 ILGA
World Conference in Bangkok.

ILGA AT THE
UNITED NATIONS
16 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
As the only global federation of LGBTI organisations,
ILGA uses its access at the UN to raise the visibility
and protection of LGBTI persons at various United
Nations fora. The last twelve months proved crucial
for the organisation to gain even greater strength.
In May 2015, ILGA appointed
a new UN Programme officer,
Helen Nolan, and has launched
a programme to better engage
with the UN Treaty Bodies – the
independent organs that monitor
State compliance with international human rights law treaties.
With an expanded team, to which
three interns also gave an invaluable contribution throughout the
year, ILGA could start to focus
on UN Special Procedures, while
continuing to conduct advocacy at the Human Rights Council,
or help member organizations
to question their governments’
record on LGBTI human rights
within the Universal Periodic
Review, or raise LBTI visibility
at the Commission on the Status
of Women.
The ILGA UN team also reached
out beyond these mainstream UN
spaces. In 2015, it took part in various advocacy weeks, conducted
trainings, worked to establish
a coalition of NGOs supporting
diverse family inclusion in UN
spaces, and engaged in platforms
addressing HIV/AIDS response
and the intersectionality of faith
and LGBTI human rights.
Thanks to the hard work of many,
ILGA is giving voice to grassroots,
national and regional LGBTI civil
society at the international level
with ever-growing efficacy. 2016
will see the association building on
that momentum, and continuing
its call for positive change for
LGBTI persons worldwide.
ILGA Annual Report 2015 | 17
ILGA engages three times a year
with the UN Human Rights Council,
and 2015 was no exception:
much had to be done to build on
the energy Council’s successful
approval in 2014 of its second
SOGI resolution.
During the 28th session, ILGA
followed-up on statements delivered by States commenting on
that resolution, and responded
to the report by the Special
Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.
The pace picked up dramatically
in the 29th session. In fact, SOGI
issues took centre stage again
after the new OHCHR report
on Discrimination and violence
against individuals based on
their sexual orientation and
gender identity was released.
ILGA led, joined and delivered
fifteen SOGIESC-specific statements. It also coordinated a joint
statement made by over 400 civil
society organizations, calling on
governments to take further action at the Human Rights Council. Two side events – organised
with ISHR and Civicus, and with
the governments of the USA and
Brazil respectively – were also
convened.
The 30th session began with the
historic mention of human rights
violations facing intersex persons by the High Commissioner
for Human Rights during his
opening remarks, and continued
with ILGA delivering eight SOGIESC-related statements.
The organisation also convened
a side event with intersex human
rights defenders.
New challenges and opportunities
await in 2016: the year will
probably see a third SOGI resolution, and ILGA has already begun
consulting with both civil society
and government representatives.
18 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
For the first time in the organisation’s history, in May 2015, ILGA
launched a new programme
to better engage with the UN
Treaty Bodies. The early days of
the programme centred on consultations with organisations
already contributing to committees, and to establish a working
group to share strategies.
Later in the year, ILGA briefed
experts in the annual joint meeting of the Committee against
Torture and the Subcommittee
for the Prevention of Torture regarding torture risks to LGBTI
persons; it assisted in a briefing
of the Human Rights Committee
on intersex persons, and also
made a submission in consultation with Kaleidoscope, ICJ
and ISHR to the Human Rights
Committee on its draft General Comment on the Right to
Life. Throughout the year, ILGA
maintained its core work of supporting LGBTI organisations in
engaging with the committees,
assisting 13 NGOs and coalitions
in preparing reports and/or their
advocacy in Geneva before seven
different Treaty Bodies.
Historically, ILGA has engaged in
the UN Special Procedures on an
ad hoc basis only.
Starting 2015, though, thanks to
its newly expanded team, the
organisation began to interact
more often with this system
of independent human rights
experts. ILGA met and connected
LGBTI human rights defenders
with a wide range of Special Procedures. The organisation also
notified its members of upcoming country visits by Special Procedures so that they could share
information on SOGIESC issues.
ILGA began to make submissions
to Special Procedures in order to
ensure that their thematic reports
made SOGIESC references where
relevant. Submissions were made
to shape the reports of the
Special Rapporteur on health on
mental health and on adolescents, the Working Group on
Discrimination against Women’s
report on health and security,
and the Special Rapporteur on
housing’s report on homelessness.
The organisation also provided
“ILGA was greatly helpful not only logistically
but also emotionally because lobbying at the
UN sometimes can make one feel helpless and
intimidated in front of experts.”
(Azusa Yamashita, Gay Japan News)
The Committees have shown
some sensitivity to a wide variety of important issues for
LGBTI human rights defenders.
Encouragingly, between 2014 and
2015, there was an increase from
34% to 46% of country reviews
that resulted in Concluding Observations containing SOGIESC
issues. Further engagement with
the UN Treaty Bodies will be crucial for the advancement of the
human rights of LGBTI persons in
the years ahead.
substantial comments for the
report of the Special Rapporteur
on health on sports and healthy
lifestyles, as wells as for the
report of the Special Rapporteur on torture’s report on detention. All of the published
reports above contain in-depth
discussion of SOGIESC issues.
ILGA supported the Women’s
secretariat in its engagement
at the 59th session of the
Commission on the Status of
Women held in March 2015 in
New York, which focused on the
Beijing Declaration and Platform
for Action twenty years after its
adoption, at the Fourth World
Conference on Women.
During the session, ILGA worked
in coalition with other NGOs to
hold an awareness-raising side
event, monitored developments
of the debate and met with
government
representatives,
encouraging them to include references to sexual orientation,
gender identity and expression,
and sex characteristics in the
language endorsed by the CSW.
As a crucial occasion for networking and discussing common
strategies, ILGA also maintained
an email group to facilitate discussion on LBTI issues during the
session.
In 2015 ILGA assisted LGBTI human rights defenders from 16
of the countries being reviewed
under the Universal Periodic
Review mechanism. The team
has variously supported both
their presence in Geneva and
their preparation of reports and
statements to be delivered, while
also monitoring recommendations made at the working group
sessions.
This strategy is leading to important results. During the second
cycle of the Universal Periodic
Review, due to end in 2016, there
has been an increase in recommendations on issues of sexual
orientation, gender identity and
expression, and sex characteristics both being made and accepted: an indication that more
and more LGBTI human rights
defenders are being heard in the
“ILGA provided us with tools and guidelines
on the process both on the ground in Bolivia
and in Geneva. Without their support, our
participation would have been something
impossible to achieve.”
(Frank Evelio Arteaga. MANODIVERSA. Bolivia)
As civil society is involved in
every step of the lengthy and
often complicated reviews of
their countries, ILGA puts special
effort to help them navigate the
process. Three weeks of advocacy around the Universal Periodic
Review were organised in 2015
in Geneva, during which human
rights defenders were trained on
advocacy, made presentations
to States, exchanged views with
each other and held many meetings with diplomatic missions, all
organized by ILGA.
UPR process, and that the sensitivity of several governments on
SOGIESC issues is increasing.
The work on the Universal Periodic Review was led for the best
part of 2015 by UN Programme
officer Alberto Ulises Quero
García, who left the team in October after nearly two years.
The UPR work was then run by
Kara DeMilio until a new UN Programme officer, Diana Carolina
Prado Mosquera, was appointed
in early 2016.

GENDER IDENTITY
AND GENDER
EXPRESSION
PROGRAMME
20 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
In 2015, ILGA developed its Gender Identity and
Gender Expression strategy, solidifying and giving
direction both to the programme and the work of
the programme officer.
It aims to achieve a number of
things, all of which are in some
form of partnership – with ILGA’s
Trans secretariat, trans-led
organisations and experts around
the world, ILGA’s United Nations
programme, other human rights
organisations and UN agencies.
It is well known that the strength
of ILGA lies in its membership.
However, for the Gender Identity
and Gender Expression programme
the strength also lies in the
knowledge and strategic thinking of those who have laid the
groundwork in trans movements,
and of those who continue to do
so today. While the organisation
aims at supporting the work of
local, regional and global trans-led
organisations and programmes, it
recognises first of all that the expertise lies in the trans communities themselves.
ILGA also contributes through its
work at the United Nations and
on location in Geneva.
Through supporting civil society
engage the Treaty Bodies, Universal Periodic Review and the
Human Rights Council, and raising issues before Special Procedures, ILGA brings issues to the
fore in the advancement of trans
rights. With community input,
ILGA contributed to two reports
by the Special Rapporteur on the
right to health, participated in
expert consultations at the UN,
contributed to public events, conferences and trainings and made
strategic statements at Human
Rights Council sessions. A Trans
pre-conference was also held at
the ILGA-Asia conference.
In 2016, we plan to release guides
on utilising the Treaty Bodies and
an advocacy tool on legal rights,
in addition to building on longer term strategic and capacity
building work already started in
2015. We are looking forward to a
fruitful year ahead.

LOOKING
OUTWARDS
22 | ILGA Annual Report 2015
An integral element of ILGA’s raison d’être is to
assist activists in achieving their self-identified
aims through work with international human rights
mechanisms, organizational capacity development
and dissemination of credible information.
State Sponsored Homophobia
and Map of Sexual Orientation Laws in the World
The tenth edition of ILGA’s flagship annual publication, State
Sponsored Homophobia and its
attendant map, was launched
at the United Nations’ Palais de
Nations on 13 May 2015. Mona
Rishmawi from the UN Office of
the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ambassador Regina
Maria Cordeiro Dunlop of Brazil,
Nigerian human rights defender
Joseph Sewedo Akoro and co-author Aengus Carroll addressed
the gathering. Representatives
of the diplomatic missions of Uruguay, Chile and Colombia, among
the initiators of the second-ever
SOGI resolution at the Human
Rights Council in 2014, were also
in attendance.
Researched and written by Aengus Carroll and Lucas Paoli Itaborahy, the 2015 edition lists laws
that criminalise us (activity), protect us (discrimination or hate)
or recognise us (relationships),
and provides a credible reference
source for human rights defenders, activists, researchers, organisations and institutions.
“This
comprehensive
analysis should be used
as an eye-opener to
those oblivious to the
fact that 76 countries
in the world still criminalise same-sex sexual
acts, and more countries that criminalise
‘homosexuality’ in other ways, subjecting individuals to dangers,
risks, abuses, harassment and violations on
the basis of their gender
and sexuality.”

of laws: criminalisation, protection and
recognition of same-sex love (Geneva;
ILGA, May 2015)
ILGA Annual Report 2015 | 23
This 10th edition carried more information on States’ engagement
with international mechanisms
than previously, in light of the human rights work being carried out
by LGBTI human rights defenders
in criminalising States. As well as
an essay on intersectionality in
LGBT advocacy written by the
Sexual Rights Initiative, the 10th
edition featured an overview of
SOGI work at the UN and ILGA’s
part in that, as well five sociolegal regional overviews on each
continent.
Throughout the year, in line with
rising institutional and corporate
consciousness around LGBTI
issues, we have seen State
Sponsored Homophobia cited in
numerous impactful forums and
documents (UN, EU, IACHR, US
Supreme Court, World Bank,
UNAIDS, OHCHR, World Economic Forum, and many more).
The UNDP LGBTI Inclusion Index
The Global LGBTI Inclusion Index
is an initiative that seeks,
amongst other objectives, to
create or enhance the tools to fill
empirical data gaps and address
key areas of LGBTI life around the
world. Following a multi-sectorial
experts’ meeting in September
2015, convened by the UNDP and
the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, it was
agreed that ILGA and OutRight
Action International (formerly
IGLHRC) would oversee a global
consultation process on a number of proposals put forward.
ILGA designed (with UNDP) and
disseminated a survey on what
should comprise the central
themes of focus, or dimensions,
and the sets of indicators that
should flow from them in areas
such as economic life, socio-political engagement, safety and
violence, education and health.
The report on the findings from
this survey will be available in 2016.
In December 2015, a three-day activist meeting was facilitated by
Outright Action International to
discuss the findings and concepts
– again, a report on this will be
distributed by the UNDP in 2016.
The ILGA-RIWI Global Attitudes
Survey on LGBTI
At the launch of State Sponsored Homophobia 2015, ILGA
also delivered the results of a
52-country survey on public attitudes to same-sex marriage that
had been carried out in 2014 by a
Canadian data research company, RIWI. Although same-sex mar-
“LGBTI economic, political and social
exclusion remains pervasive, resulting
in a lack of access to things like adequate
education and health services.
If LGBTI people continue to face exclusion,
the Sustainable Development Goals
will remain out of our reach.
We must quickly sort out what
it will take to ensure LGBTI inclusion.”

LOGOTYPE
HEADLINE
riage as an advocacy objective
exists for only a part of ILGA’s
membership, it was the effectiveness of the technology to garner
information on SOGI issues,
particularly International
from civilLGBT-hostile
society implementing
the EU Human Rights Defenders mechanism
states, that was of great interest.
Through targeting digital deInternational
civil society
implementing
vices (phones
and
computers)
the EU Human Rights Defenders mechanism
that try to access non existing web addresses (i.e. typed
in the address bar by mistake),
the RIWI technology sends
a survey in the appropriate
world language to potential respondents in any city, province, country or territory in the
world. This means comparative
SOGI-related data from hardto-reach places (for example,
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Sudan) can for
the first time ever be collated.
PROTECTDEFENDERS.EU VISUAL IDENTITY
GUIDELINES & BEST PRACTICES
As such, in July 2015 ILGA began
to engage with RIWI to determine the viability of creating a
longitudinal study on public attitudes to LGBTI people and our issues, so that attitudinal changes
to sexual orientation and gender
identity can be tracked annually,
and reliable empirical data can
be triangulated and deployed by
activists in their advocacy work
nationally and internationally.
During 2015, 31 survey questions
were identified: many of which
ask specifically about LGB-identified subjects, gender identity
International civil society implementing
the EU Human Rights Defenders mechanism
and expression, and about
intersex, while others are more
generic - about ‘LGBTI’.
It is expected that when finances
allow us to stay in the field in any
of these countries to amass a
large respondent base, we may
be able to make very real LGBTI
population estimates. The manner in which data is returned
allowed researchers to analyse
it (‘cut’) by age, gender identity
(male/female/other), sexual orientation, sex characteristic status, and geography. This is the
first study of this scale and reach
in the world.
PROTECTDEFENDERS.EU © 2016
For the first phase of this study,
formally titled ILGA-RIWI Global
Attitudes Survey on LGBTI People 2016, in partnership with Logo,
65 countries were targeted. ILGA
decided that to be able to speak
definitively on these figures and
so they can be relied on in advocacy, a minimum cut-off figure
of 700 respondents per country
would suffice. As will be reported
by ILGA, this figure was surpassed
in 53 countries.
This ILGA/RIWI survey data and
the on-going work in State Sponsored Homophobia are expected to be utilised in the United
Nations
Development
Programme (UNDP) LGBTI Inclusion
Index, which ILGA and others were
involved in the seminal stages of
designing and negotiating in 2015.
ProtectDefenders.eu
All human beings are born free
and equal in dignity and rights.
And yet, working to defend LGBTI
human rights often renders LGBTI
activists as target of hate.
It is crucial to offer them means
to break the isolation they are
forced to work into, and this is
why ILGA chose to become part
of ProtectDefenders.eu, the first
comprehensive EU Human Rights
Defenders mechanism.
Funded by the European Union,
ProtectDefenders.eu was launched in Brussels in December
2015. It offers human rights defenders at risk a platform to receive practical support, apply for
emergency grants, ask for temporary relocation or join trainings
to meet their long-term security needs. In case of immediate
threats, human rights defenders
can also call the 24/7 emergency hotline, where LGBTI-friendly
operators speak Arabic, English,
French, Russian and Spanish.
ILGA (which will begin working in
the Consortium in 2016) is part of
the mechanism along with eleven other international civil society organisations, committed
to working together for human
rights defenders worldwide.

The year saw quite a few changes in the staff.
After six years as a finance and administration officer for ILGA, Espérance Kana left the team in October
2015. Around the same period, also Alberto Ulises Quero García resigned from his position as UN Programme officer, after having lead the work on the Universal Periodic Review after almost two years.
Three more persons have joined us in our office during 2015: Annelise Kannenberg-Canavarro, Paula Olaz
and KaraDeMilio have all interned with ILGA, giving an invaluable support to the work of ILGA’s United
Nations team.

ILGA Annual Report 2015 | 35
ILGA mourns the loss of all the human rights defenders and members of the LGBTI
community who have left us in 2015.
Xolile Sane Mabuza “Malume”, Mirka Negroni, Joel Gustave Nana and Diana Sacayán
- who was serving as an alternate representative of the Trans secretariat on the board
of ILGA when she was killed - are only a few of those who are no longer with us, after
having spent the best part of their lives working to advance the human rights of LGBTI
persons in their countries, and worldwide.
We remember them all, with enormous gratitude.
