Human Dignity Trust and the All-Party Parliamentary Group on LGBT+ Rights host a global discussion on reforming discriminatory laws
Across the world, legislative reform has proved to be a vital tool to repeal and reform the laws that criminalise and discriminate against LGBT people. Alongside the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Global LGBT+ Rights, the Human Dignity Trust hosted a global discussion looking at how activists, legislators and policy makers are repealing and reforming those laws in order to secure the rights of LGBT people.
The discussion drew from the Trust’s ground-breaking research that offers a step-by-step analysis of how the reform of discriminatory laws has been achieved, and identifies how it can be replicated. Each panelist brought their own experience of working on successful legislative reform, often in very different contexts.
Speakers included:
Mrs. Kim Simplis Barrow, Special Envoy for Women and Children, Belize
Bernard Georges, Member of the National Assembly of Seychelles
Téa Braun, Director, Human Dignity Trust
Hannah Bardell MP, Member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on LGBT+ Rights, chaired the discussion.
