Avenues for donors to promote sexuality and gender justice

This resource discusses the importance of addressing discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity (SOGI) as a human rights issue, and for reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development. It highlights how incorporating SOGI issues into development programming continues to present challenges, due to limited support and evidence of what works, and hostility from many governments. The resource makes the case for investment in leadership, clear policies and training, effective coordination across agencies and sectors, and a stronger evidence base, as important factors to promoting positive change on this issue.
