Proud to see United Nations in Ukraine colleagues marching in KyivPride in solidarity with 6-8,000 community members and allies while agitators threw eggs and excrements at the marchers. A massive police presence kept the marchers safe and for the first time representatives from the city and national government were marching along.

In Lithuania it has improved in the last 10 years. In about 2010 the situation was similar, this year there was hardly any police (there and needed) and only a few random protestors.

New report from #IESOGI Victor Madrigal-Borloz calls on states to collect data on violence and discrimination against #LGBT people: “States must adequately address this scourge through public policy, access to justice, law reform or administrative actions.

Great news from #Botswana! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
#LoveIsLove #LoveWins #StandUp4HumanRights #Repeal164UN Human Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet welcomes the decision by the High Court of Botswana to decriminalize consensual same-sex relations between adults by striking down relevant provisions of the country’s Penal Code.
"Punishing people based on their sexual orientation has a deeply negative impact that goes far beyond the risk of arrest and imprisonment," Bachelet says. "Criminalization contributes to stigma and gives free rein to discrimination more generally, leading to lesbian, gay, bisexual and, in some cases, transgender people being denied health care, education, employment and housing," she says.
