LGBT Persons

Human Rights First works to ensure that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons can access and enjoy fundamental human rights protections. Human Rights First aims to bolster the responses of governments to hate crime violence motivated by sexual orientation or gender identity bias, to challenge laws that criminalize homosexuality, and to improve access for LGBTI refugees to asylum, protection, resettlement, and assistance.
