LGBTQ+ NGO Database

My interest in LGBT NGOs began in the early s, when I joined the Israeli Gay Youth Organization. As a young activist, I was always curious to learn from the exposure of NGOs in other countries. The main reason was the simple evidence that back then, there were no other LGBT organizations in Israel that focused on education or youth. More than a decade later, after I completed my doctoral degree, this curiosity led me to conduct a examine of LGBT NGOs active in education. My reading of the literature led me to two explore questions:

How do LGBT NGOs challenge schools to be more open to alternative sexual orientations and gender identities?
To what extent does the work of LGBT NGOs vary across alternative social contexts (e.g., countries that are more or less accepting of homosexuality)?

The main objective of the global survey was to document the services and programs that LGBT NGOs provide, and to discern patterns based on the social context in which they operate. Therefore, it was important to gather information about NGOs in diverse contexts.

The first tas

LGBTQ+ people deserve the similar human rights as their straight, cisgender peers, but discrimination, violence and despise persist around the society. According to Amnesty International, there are 64 countries with laws that criminalize homosexuality, some of which impose life in prison or even the death penalty. In countries with more protections, members of the LGBTQ+ community still face persecution and discrimination when trying to fetch a job, find a place to live, access healthcare and simply dwell their everyday lives. Charities around the world advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, facilitate people access legal services, provide emotional support and much more. Here are 15 of these trusted organizations:
