Activist’s Guide to the Yogyakarta Principles
Friday 26 November 2010 by Yogyakarta Principles In Action
New Toolkit for LGTBI advocacy to advance Equality on Grounds of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
The Activist’s Guide to the Yogyakarta Principles is an introduction to the Principles to facilitate a deeper understanding of them and to foster their use and promotion.
The Yogyakarta Principles are a set of principles on the application of international human rights law in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity. They were developed in response to well-documented patterns of abuse directed toward persons because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Activist’s Guide is a toolkit, which provides an introduction to the Yogyakarta Principles, exploring how they can enhance the work of activists in advancing rights for LGBTI people around the globe. It presents several creative examples of ways in which LGBTI activists have already used the Yogyakarta Principles to make significant gains, and suggests strategies for further engagement with the Principles.
The product of a collective effort, involving many groups and individuals, the Activist’s Guide was made possible through the generous support of funders including Dreilinden Gesellschaft für gemeinnütziges Privatkapital, Fund for Global Human Rights and Hivos.
