Yogyakarta Principles

The Yogyakarta Principles are a set of international human rights guidelines that affirm the rights of LGBT+ people. They outline how existing human rights laws should protect individuals regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Essentially, they emphasize that everyone should be treated fairly, with respect, and have the freedom to express who they are without fear of discrimination, violence, or persecution. These principles serve as a reference for governments, organizations, and individuals to promote equality and ensure that LGBT+ rights are recognized and upheld worldwide.
