Today, I launch my Report to the UN General Assembly, in which I conclude that the #COVID19 pandemic has a disproportionate impact on LGBT persons: https://t.co/0lSElWpiL6

States must ensure that pandemic response & recovery is free from violence & discrimination based on #SOGI.

I was delighted to exchange views with @ECRI_CoE in relation to the main challenges faced by LGBT persons in the European space - a great start to what I hope will be a long and fruitful collaboration! @ILGAEurope

Great Judges make Human Rights come to life. They teach us about the meaning of impartiality, objectivity and compassion. Thanks #RBG - Rest In Power

Devastating thread about testimony of survivors during the #CharlieHebdo trial; a must-read that reminds us of the lasting horror of #terrorism & the courage it takes to go on afterward -with life, w creative activity

Intersex activists @Pidgejen and @SeanSaifaWall are winning more rights for intersex babies 🙌

Governments must do more to address violence based on religion or belief, which disproportionately affects women; #LGBT persons; religious, ethnic, racial & other minorities.

In July, I gave a key-note address at @SOGICA1 Final Conference, a project on Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Claims of Asylum. I highlighted the intersections of my work as #IESOGI & the human rights of #LGBT people on the move, incl. asylum seekers: https://t.co/gP4OK21kp5

My colleague & friend @davidakaye ends his 6-year term as UN SR on freedom of opinion & expression next week. Within his remarkable body of work, he took issue w/laws that explicitly attack expression on the basis of #SOGI & the suppression of #LGBT activism & advocacy, (1/2)

My report to the 75th UN GA will analyse the impact of #COVID19 on the human rights of LGBT persons. It will build on consultation processes triggered since the start of the pandemic. I encourage you to present additional information until 19 June: https://t.co/rfrdbcpCT7 #IESOGI

Extremely disappointed to learn that #Hungary went forward with legislation denying trans and gender diverse persons the right to legal recognition and self-determination, despite having heard significant concerns about its human rights implications. #IESOGI @free_equal

Julie Greenberg, an expert on intersex legal issues and founding Board member of interACT, outlines her vision for the future: "I really do foresee that we will accomplish our goals; the real question is 'how long will it take?'" #GivingTuesdayNow https://t.co/R8PqWV6251

Today we join an unprecedented coalition of 12 global equality orgs to express our grave concern that “while #COVID19 is indiscriminate, the impacts of state responses to it are not”. Our call to action ☞ https://t.co/tIzKRQgJvi #NoCOVIDiscrimination #Together4Equality
