The global landscape for LGBTQIA+ individuals has seen remarkable positive changes, with many countries making significant strides towards equality and acceptance. However, these advancements are not uniform across the globe. According to the 2024 ILGA World report, “Laws on Us”, one-third of the world continues to criminalise consensual same-sex sexual acts. Some regions continue to struggle with deeprooted prejudices and legal obstacles.
