Work on ILGA maps and State-Sponsored Homophbia report for 2012 has started

Dear friends of Soulforce Inc.,

New York Times, El Pais, The Economist, Alternatives économiques, Jeune Afrique… Every year, ILGA’s maps on Gay and Lesbian rights and the State-Sponsored Homophobia report are getting more and more visibility in the media or in institutions such as the OSCE and the United Nations. Numerous local organizations also use this material for their local advocacy.

This year again ILGA will be launching its report and maps in 4 languages. As in previous years, African, Asian and Latin American maps will be produced along with the world map in partnership with ILGA-Asia, ILGA-Asia and Pan Africa ILGA.

How can you get involved this year?
1/ Tell us how you would like the maps and report to improve. They can be downloaded at http://ilga.org/ilga/en/article/1161. Send your comments to information@ilga.org by March 15 2012.

2/ Notify us of legal changes that have occurred since March 2011. The authors of the State Sponsored Homophobia will use your contributions to complete their work. Send information at information@ilga.org by March 31 2012.

We look forward to your involvement!

Stephen Barris
