About Global Equality Caucus

The Global Equality Caucus is an international network of parliamentarians and elected representatives aiming to tackle discrimination against LGBT+ people. Membership is open to legislators across the world, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics. We are the first dedicated global network aimed at bringing together elected representatives to promote LGBT+ rights. We work together with NGOs, businesses and governments to promote and drive through measures on anti-discrimination and equality. Politicians are in a unique position to advocate directly for political and legislative action. We pass laws, vote funds and influence leaders. The Global Equality Caucus believes that politics has the power to change people’s lives, and we are united in a belief in equality for all. We launched at the United Nations in New York City on 21 June 2019, where a delegation of elected representatives from all corners of the world spoke about their experiences in advocating for equality and signed a pledge to tackle LGBT+ discrimination in all its forms. The Caucus supports collective action for campaigns, facilitates the sharing of information, and aims to influence debate at national, regional and international levels. We are united in our mission to drive change across five key priorities: 1. Support decriminalisation and the end of violence against LGBT+ people. 2. Support equal rights and non-discrimination for LGBT+ people. 3. Ensure that LGBT+ people have equal access to healthcare, including HIV treatment and support for trans people. 4. Ensure that data is collected so that governments can be held accountable for how LGBT+ are treated. 5. Support and urge funding for NGOs which are working for LGBT+ people.
