The World Bank held this expert event in commemoration of the 2024 International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT).
When discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or sex characteristics takes place, development outcomes suffer. This event focused on raising awareness of how laws and regulations either promote or impede LGBTI+ inclusion, how such policies impact development, and what to expect from the forthcoming World Bank report: Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities (EQOSOGI) - Second Edition.
