Human Rights
Equal rights for LGBTQIA+ communities are central to the purpose and work of InterPride.
InterPride seeks volunteers to join our Human Rights & Diversity Committee and Global Trans Task Force. Individuals need not be directly affiliated with an InterPride member organization to join.

Seventy jurisdictions in the world criminalize private, consensual, same-sex sexual activity. The death penalty may be applied in eleven of these jurisdictions. Fifteen countries criminalize the gender identity and/or expression of transgender people. In many countries, there is no right to peaceful public assembly. Regressive government and judicial policies are continuing to erode hard-fought human rights gains.
InterPride’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025 includes an enhanced focus on working collaboratively with partners to grow the Pride movement as a means of achieving visibility and social change. We also aim to build our international profile to better advocate for the rights of our communities.
