In a human rights context, members of the LGBTI community face various challenges, some
common to all and others of a specific nature. For example, intersex people (born with atypical
sexual characteristics) experience some of the same human rights violations that lesbian, gay,
bisexual, and transgender people also experience. But, at the same time, they must face the
institutional violence of the health systems, which has physical and psychological consequences
for a lifetime. Under international human rights law, all States have an obligation to promote and
protect the human rights of all people, without discrimination. But in many countries, laws that
prohibit cross-sex clothing are used to punish transgender people because they have a different
gender identity and dare to express it. In addition, 70 countries still have discriminatory laws that
criminalize private and consensual sexual relations between people of the same sex.

The designation of a person as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex (LGBTI)


ensures legal recognition of sexual orientation or gender identity as an essential condition of the
person to be protected. The notion of LGBTI as a specific sector makes it possible to visualize
and recognize the historical discrimination to which people living in in this case, contributing to
offer protection according to their particular needs. Fits point out that a person with a diverse
sexual orientation or gender identity may not necessarily You must self-identify under the LGBTI
denomination to be eligible for protection.

All over the world people face violence and inequality and sometimes torture or even
execution because of who they love, what they look like or who they are. Sexual orientation and
gender identity are integral aspects of our individuality and should in no case be a reason for
discrimination or abuse. We work to promote the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
people, and their activists represent a multiplicity of identities and causes. We document and
publicize abuses based on sexual orientation and gender identity around the world, including
torture, murder and execution, arrests made possible by unfair laws, unequal treatment,
censorship, medical abuse, discrimination in the fields of health, employment and housing,
domestic violence, child abuse, and denial of family rights and recognition. Let's promote laws
and policies that protect the dignity of all people. And let's work for a world where all people can
fully enjoy their rights.However, greater respect for the rights of the LGBT population and the
inclusion of LGBT people is not yet a global movement. In many countries it is illegal to be gay
and is punishable by imprisonment and even death. In some societies, the simple claim of
human rights and fundamental freedoms by members of the LGBT community rights enshrined
in international law faces oppression, abuse and ostracism. LGBT people are targeted simply for
being who they are
