Advancing the Human Rights and Inclusion of LGBTI People: A Handbook for Parliamentarians

Advancing the Human Rights and Inclusion of LGBTI People: A Handbook for Parliamentarians is a collaborative publication by Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This handbook serves as a practical guide for legislators seeking to champion the rights and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) individuals within their countries and globally.

Grounded in international human rights standards, the handbook provides parliamentarians with concrete tools, policy options, and legislative strategies to address discrimination, repeal harmful laws, and enact inclusive measures. It includes global case studies, good practices, and guidance on engaging with civil society and marginalized communities. The resource emphasizes the crucial role lawmakers play in fostering inclusive democracies and ensuring equal rights and protections for all.
