Human Rights Committee

InterPride recognizes the need for global equality for LGBTI people. We stand behind the belief that all people are born free and equal with dignity and rights.

Some places don't have the rights and freedoms we enjoy, and we want to change that. Visit our Solidarity page and download important Human Rights information to share with your community. DONATIONS are accepted and given to Prides in Conflict around the World.

InterPride supports the Yogyakarta Principles, a set of principles applying international human rights law to violations experienced by lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender people to ensure protections. We work to change the world with our visibility at Pride!

Please visit our Region Page and contact the Director for your area. If there is no Director, please contact the VP Representative or the Chair of Human Rights and get involved. Let us know what we can do to share your story and struggle for Pride.

We are here and want to help.
