The Yogyakarta Principles

The Yogyakarta Principles are a set of guidelines established in 2006 that aim to promote and protect the rights of individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. They address issues such as discrimination, violence, and inequality faced by LGBTQ+ people. These principles emphasize that everyone is entitled to the same human rights, regardless of who they love or how they identify. They call for governments and institutions to create laws and policies that ensure dignity, equality, and justice for all, promoting inclusivity and respect for diversity in society.
