The Universal Declaration of Human rights states in Article 2: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status” This article is an important reminder of the absolute right not to be discriminated on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.
To follow up on the human rights perspective in relation to this, we have added this thematic page on LGBTQ+ rights where we have collected publications on UN resolutions and documents, articles regarding LGBT+ and mental health and organizations that are working with LGBTQ+ issues. We would very much appreciate feedback, comments and suggestions on relevant publications to add to this page.
