International

Despite advances, LGBTI people remain at risk of discrimination and violence in many countries. We engage in international research, analysis, and data collection on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy. Collaborating with local experts, we conduct cross-national studies and work to strengthen the capacity of researchers outside the United States.
