🇪🇺 European Influence
European Court of Human Rights decisions significantly shaped UK law, particularly around decriminalisation and equal age of consent. Cases like Dudgeon v. UK accelerated progress.
🌎 Global Progress
Over 30 countries have legalised same-sex marriage, with recent additions including Nepal (2023) and Slovenia's adoption rights. However, challenges persist in many regions with criminalisation and oppression.
⚖️ Recent Developments
2023 saw both progress (Nepal's marriage equality) and setbacks (legislative backlash in various countries), showing that the fight for equality remains ongoing worldwide.
🌟 Understanding Global LGBTQ+ Rights
This interactive map helps us understand the global landscape of LGBTQ+ rights. While significant progress has been made in many countries, there are still places where LGBTQ+ people face criminalization and discrimination.
Understanding these global disparities helps us appreciate the progress made while recognizing the work still needed. Every country's journey toward equality is unique, but the goal of universal human rights remains the same.
