ILGA World
About
LGA World – the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association – is a worldwide federation of more than 2,000 organisations from over 170 countries and territories campaigning for the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people.
We want a world where the human rights of all are respected and where everyone can live in equality and freedom: a world where global justice and equity are assured and established regardless of people’s sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC).
Established in 1978, ILGA World has ECOSOC consultative status at the United Nations.
Our members are based in our six regions: Pan Africa ILGA, ILGA Asia, ILGA-Europe, ILGALAC (Latin America and the Caribbean), ILGA North America and the Caribbean and ILGA Oceania.
Governed by an elected Board of 20 activists representing our global family, ILGA World is queer democracy in action!
