Everyone has the right to be safe and free from violence, fear, and coercion. Everyone should be able to make decisions about their bodies. Feminist and queer movements for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual rights are leading the way to a future where everyone, no matter their gender or identity, can truly be free and equal.
LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
Queer & feminist movements have won some hard-fought progress, but LGBTQIA+ people still face persistent and rising violence and threats to their safety, and discrimination or harassment in education, health, media, politics, work and more. This is especially the case for people whose gender does not match their assigned sex at birth.
Oxfam stands in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities, as we insist on bodily autonomy for everyone, everywhere.
Together, we can shape a future where everyone, everywhere, no matter their gender or sexuality, can be truly free and equal.
We all have the right to be safe, free from violence, fear and coercion.
Recognizing gender diversity in society and in law is crucial to addressing the unique risks and discrimination LGBTQIA+ people face.
Human rights include the right to life, liberty, and security of a person. Governments everywhere should protect people regardless of their gender identity or expression.
None of us is safe until all of us are safe.
We all should get to make choices about our own bodies and lives without pressure or discrimination.
Governments have to invest in strong, universal public services that support this bodily autonomy for all.
We stand for universal human rights. That includes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual people & those with other gender or sexuality identities.
LGBTQIA+ rights movements are building the future we want.
Movements for LGBTQIA+ rights are building the rights-based, safe and dignified feminist future we want. It's a future where everyone, no matter their gender or identity, can truly be free and equal.
We will keep demanding more recognition of their leadership, more support for their work including funding, and their meaningful inclusion in decision-making spaces.
