SUMMARY:IBA HRI Showcase - Rejecting the rights rollback: advancing LGBTQ
 IA+ equality around the world
DESCRIPTION:There is an erosion of LGBTQIA+ rights and equality in both l
 aw and practice around the world. A global wave of discriminatory anti-L
 QBTQIA+ laws and policies have targeted and persecuted LGBTQIA+ individu
 als and communities\, from criminalising LGBTQIA+ persons\; to restricti
 ng freedom of assembly and association\; to hindering access to healthca
 re and education. As a result\, LGBTQIA+ individuals continue to face di
 sproportionate risks of violence\, stigma\, and discrimination based on 
 their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. This session will explo
 re the historical and political context of the increasing criminalisatio
 n\, examine the rise of populist governments attacking LGBTQIA+ persons\
 , and call on the international community to resist the attacks against 
 recent advances in LGBTQIA+ equality worldwide.
