OutRight Action International

OutRight Action International, founded in 1990 as the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, is a leading international human rights organization dedicated to improving the lives of people who experience discrimination or abuse on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. We are dedicated to strengthening the capacity of the LGBTIQ human rights movement worldwide to effectively conduct documentation of LGBTIQ human rights violations and by engaging in human rights advocacy with partners around the globe. We work with the United Nations, regional human rights monitoring bodies and civil society partners. IGLHRC holds consultative status at the United Nations as a recognized Non-Governmental Organization representing the concerns and human rights of lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender people worldwide. OutRight partners with like-minded corporations to advance LGBTIQ human rights. For example, OutRight is one of two non-governmental organizations advising companies in the Partnership for Global LGBTI Equality, a World Economic Forum Lighthouse Project, and a coalition of businesses committed to leveraging their individual and collective advocacy to accelerate LGBTI equality and inclusion globally.
