HRC is working to leverage our domestic LGBTQ work to have an international impact.
There are millions of LGBTQ people around the world who are gaining visibility and fighting for their rights but some live in fear and isolation – and under the rule of governments that criminalize their very identities.

HRC is a proud member of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), a partner of the Clinton Global Initiative, and a founding member of the Council for Global Equality.
