There's a global fight to hold onto protections for LGBTQ people from violence & discrimination happening at the UN right now.

Last night, Cristyn Davies called on the UN #HRC41 to #RenewIESOGI - supported by us, the Human Rights Council of Australia, HumanRightsLawCentre & Twenty10

DefendDefenders welcomes the adoption of a resolution extending the mandate of #IESOGI , the UN expert combatting violence & discrimination against #LGBTI persons. Three African States voted YES (🇿🇦🇹🇳🇷🇼), a step towards equality.
