ILGA Asia stands in solidarity with communities across Nepal affected by the devastating floods.

On 26 August, severe flash floods swept through northern Nepal. Homes and critical infrastructure have been destroyed, many lives have been lost, and hundreds of people remain missing as rescue operations continue.

We are reaching out to our members and partners in Nepal to check on their safety and to listen to what communities on the ground are experiencing.

We encourage those who are able to support verified local relief efforts and community-led appeals and to amplify reliable information from organisations working directly with affected communities.

Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, those awaiting news of family and friends, and everyone facing the aftermath of this disaster.

Indonesia must revoke the classification of the “spread of LGBTQ culture” as a non-military threat. This national-security framing fuels discrimination, surveillance, stigma, and violence against LGBTIQ people.

ILGA Asia calls on the Government of Indonesia to protect LGBTIQ people and ensure that national defence, education, and public policies uphold human rights and non-discrimination.

Five years of persecution of LGBTIQ+ Afghans under Taliban rule.

Listen to Artemis Akbary, Executive Director and Co-Founder of ALO, deliver a powerful message about their persecution, survival and resistance, and the urgent need for protection, justice and accountability.

For five years, LGBTIQ+ Afghans have faced arbitrary detention, torture, s*xual violence, public flogging, forced marriage, displacement and threats of death simply because of who they are.

Yet they continue to survive, resist and demand justice.

Five years later, silence is not neutrality. The international community must act.

Stand with LGBTIQ+ Afghans. Amplify their voices. Demand accountability.

PROTECTION • JUSTICE • POWER

🇳🇵Nepal’s Supreme Court has ruled that same-s*x couples must receive full and equal marriage rights.

The landmark decision in Pinky Gurung v. Government of Nepal makes Nepal the first country in South Asia and the third in Asia to fully realise marriage equality.

“Full implementation of the Court's decision is an important opportunity to strengthen the rule of law, uphold constitutional guarantees of equality and dignity, and reinforce respect for the independence of Nepal's judiciary.”
— Pinky Gurung, Blue Diamond Society and lead petitioner

ILGA Asia welcomes the ruling and calls for comprehensive amendments to Nepal’s Civil Code and related laws.

A recent Seoul Central District Court ruling affirms that same-s*x relationships in South Korea can constitute legally protectable interests, further strengthening the constitutional and legal basis for marriage equality.

“Progress can emerge from unexpected places. That ruling builds on the momentum of the Supreme Court’s landmark 2024 decision recognizing equal health insurance benefits for same-s*x couples. The Constitutional Court is now considering marriage equality cases challenging the Civil Code’s exclusion of same-s*x couples from marriage. We hope it will continue this path toward equality.” — Minhee Ryu, Marriage for All Korea

While the ruling does not yet establish marriage equality, it reinforces what communities have long known: same-s*x couples build lives together marked by commitment, care, shared responsibility, and mutual support.

ILGA Asia urges the South Korean government and judiciary to uphold the rights to equality and dignity, and to ensure equal marriage rights for same-s*x couples.

As Pride Month comes to a close, ILGA Asia Executive Director Henry Koh reflects on the assumption that progress for LGBTIQ people is inevitable—and why recent developments across Asia and beyond remind us that rights require continual protection, solidarity, and political commitment.

“We further highlight the need to capacitate and sensitise local authorities, law enforcement, and all government and judicial officials to treat LBQ women with dignity and respect and protect their access to justice.”

Rosanna Flamer-Caldera, Executive Director of EQUAL GROUND Sri Lanka, delivered a video statement based on a Joint Submission with ILGA Asia during the 62nd Session of the Human Rights Council on June 19, highlighting the intersecting marginalisation and violence faced by LBQ women in patriarchal societies.

LBQ women continue to face barriers in accessing justice, healthcare, housing, and employment, especially where legal protections remain absent and discriminatory laws continue to put communities at risk.

States must recognise LBQ women as a legally protected group and adopt decriminalisation and anti-discrimination policies that uphold dignity, equality, and justice for all.
