Countries

Here you can find information on LGBT rights in specific countries.

LGBT - lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender - issues are closely interlinked with various aspects of international development. When marginalisation and social exclusion prevent sexual and gender minorities from participating in society on equal terms, important benefits of development are lost to the individual - and to society as a whole.
