OutRight Action International

OutRight Action International operates from its headquarters in New York, NY, delivering comprehensive human rights advocacy and capacity-building services to advance equality and justice for LGBTIQ people globally. Since 1990, the organization has developed specialized expertise in combating systemic violence, persecution, and discrimination through strategic partnerships with activists, organizations, diplomats, and policymakers across multiple continents. Based in New York with staff operating in ten countries, OutRight provides targeted interventions across diverse regions and contexts. The organization's service offerings include documenting and amplifying human rights violations, strengthening the capacity of the LGBTIQ movement through technical assistance and training, advocating for legal and policy reform at national and international levels, and responding to human rights emergencies with immediate support. OutRight's work spans Asia, the Pacific, Sub-Saharan Africa, Southwest Asia and North Africa, Europe and Central Asia, the Americas, and the United Nations. In each region, the organization tailors its approach to address specific challenges—from combating gender-based violence and discrimination in Asia to dismantling discriminatory laws in the Caribbean to providing emergency response support in Europe and Central Asia. Through global programs that support innovative advocacy, research initiatives, policy briefs, and strategic communications, OutRight amplifies the voices of activists and advances community-focused solutions that create lasting legal and social transformation for LGBTIQ communities worldwide.
