The incident was a threat to freedom of assembly and expression, and discrimination. Is #ASEAN really an inclusive space for #humanrights discussions?

Thanks @hrw & @ryanthoreson for the dispatch.

[Cristian González Cabrera @cristianfergo]

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines🇻🇨 should protect LGBT people and decriminalize consensual same-sex relations. New @hrw report documents multiple forms of violence and discrimination against this population in all areas of life.

Excellent news:

Bolivia´s highest court has recognized civil unions for same-sex couples.
It´s the result of years of struggle by LGBT activists.
The ruling is a very important step towards a more equal society.

“One of the most extreme features of this new bill is that it criminalizes people simply for being who they are as well as further infringing on the rights to privacy, and freedoms of expression and association that are already compromised in Uganda.”

When #LGBT people in #MENA are targeted online, their lives are often ruined.

New @hrw report documents how security forces across the Middle East and North Africa region are targeting #LGBT people based on their online activity on social media.

Spain 🇪🇸 just passed a landmark law that expands protections for LGBT people.

Given the politicization of transgender rights in Europe, it is significant that it allows for legal gender recognition for trans people based on self-determination.💯

[Cristian González Cabrera @cristianfergo]

A court has struck down #Barbados' "buggery" & "serious indecency" laws thereby decriminalizing gay sex. 💯

These laws are relics of British colonial law and are still on the books in 6 countries in the region. They violate a host of human rights: https://t.co/HurkRM1EBd [1/5]

I worked in child welfare because I wanted to help families, but the system as it exists now isn’t designed to keep children safe or to help families experiencing poverty. I wrote about the findings of my year-long @hrw @aclu investigation @theprogressive: https://t.co/PBkMh7naK9
