ILGA World maps

ILGA World maps are among the most shared visual representations of how LGBTIQ people are affected by laws and policies around the world.

The scope of our long-standing rights mapping has expanded thanks to the ILGA World Database. With that platform, ILGA maps have become interactive and constantly updated, to better cover sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) issues globally.

Our LGBTIQ rights maps cover more than 100 topics, as well as how SOGIESC issues are addressed in international human rights mechanisms like the Universal Periodic Review, Treaty Bodies, or Special Procedures within the United Nations.

With their easily understandable visual representations, ILGA World maps are powerful tools for social justice in the hands of human rights defenders, policymakers, journalists, academia, and all those interested in getting the facts right about the human rights of LGBTIQ people.
