Gender, sexuality and the Sustainable Development Goals: a meta-analysis of mechanisms of exclusion and avenues for inclusive development

This resource draws on data from the Institute of Development Studies’ Sexuality, Poverty and Law programme. It outlines the impact of discriminatory laws and policies on people marginalised because of their gender identity and/or sexuality. It maps these findings onto the contemporary Sustainable Development Goals framework. The resource also looks at correlations between global development areas, national, context-specific policies and laws, and various facets of everyday discrimination conducted against persons with diverse sexual orientation, gender, identity and expression.
