Defend. Since 2019, ReportOUT have been at the forefront of protecting the human rights of s*xual and gender minorities in the United Kingdom and globally. As a registered charity in England and Wales (registered charity number 1185887) we are fearless, determined and relentless in our belief that human rights are fundamental to advancing the lives of SOGIESC people and their communities. We have a national and international set of Trustees and over 30 volunteers who generously give their time to help us.
*SOGIESC: Sexual orientation, gender identity, expression and s*x characteristics
So what do we do? Human rights research
Our team research, document and monitor what is happening to s*xual and gender minorities in every nation state. We collect evidence from secondary resources, activists and people who live in the nation states that we research in order to create country profiles. Once we have the information gathered in these profiles, we then work with other global bodies to push and campaign for social change in those nation states and beyond. EducateOUT and our events
Our education project educates the public about what is happening to s*xual and gender minorities globally. Examples of our education project and events include creating podcasts with asylum seekers, offering training courses, online events and conferences, awareness raising activities and working with all groups of people to educate them about the human rights of people globally. ReportOUT Campaigns
Not only do we research, document and educate, but we also campaign for social change. At ReportOUT, our dedicated campaign team raise awareness by putting pressure on nation states, governments and institutions to abide by their human rights obligations. ReportOUT news and blog
Our blog invites s*xual and gender minorities from all over the world to let their voices be heard, We invite anyone to contact us if they would like their story to be told. So far we have stories from countries as widespread as Ghana, India and Namibia, and eventually we want to cover every country! Bringing the lived experience, rather than just data and information, is key to what we do at ReportOUT. See our website for more information: www.reportout.org
Our work is linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In particular, Goal 5: Gender Equality and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
