GCRI-SOGI – Global COVID-19 Research Initiative on SOGI – On going
The GCRI-SOGI is a global research initiative launched by a collective of 21 LGBTQ+ organisations from across the globe. The study hopes to investigate the ways in which LBGTQ+ individuals, activists/advocates, and organisations have been affected by the shifting landscape brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a vulnerable and marginalised community, we recognise that the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals may not be effectively captured or reported upon.

International Day of Action for Trans Depathologisation (21 October 2021)
On the International Day of Action for Trans Depathologisation, hear some of the voices from our community and partners around the World 🌏
"We know we can struggle to pronounce the word, and you may even wonder what this is about. Pathologising people means seeing them as if they have a disease, and using this as a reason to limit their rights. Even when there’s nothing to fix in them. For trans people, pathologisation happens through a large series of medical and social process that are interlinked with legal processes.
Like requiring a psychiatric diagnosis to access specific healthcare, or forcing us to undergo medical interventions before our identity documents can reflect our gender correctly. The list goes on. Depathologisation means trans people are no longer considered as having a disorder, nor having their rights limited because of that. Still not clear? Think of depathologisation as a path. A path to trans justice."
