ILGA-Europe's Global Work
The situation for LGBT people and their rights is very different around the world. If in some European countries same-sex partners can marry and sexual orientation discrimination is prohibited by law, in some countries throughout the world LGBT people are subjected to discrimination and in the worst case - death penalty.
There are various organisations working to advance the situation for LGBT people in the world:
International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)
International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission
Many mainstream international human rights organisations increasingly paying attention to the rights of LGBT people:
United Nations
