In 2023, over 2.1 billion people - in 65 countries - live under laws that criminalise consensual same-sex relationships, gender identity or expression.

Stigma and fear for safety mean LGBT+ people are more likely to live in poverty and face significant challenges in accessing meaningful work or essential services, particularly relating to sexual and reproductive health. #EqualSafeFree
