Equality of Opportunity for Sexual and Gender Minorities (EQOSOGI 2)
The second EQOSOGI report examines the laws and regulations that affect the lives of LGBTI people in 64 countries around the world. These countries represent different geographic areas, income levels, and inclusiveness of sexual and gender minorities, ensuring a diverse and holistic representation of the issues. The report measures six indicators to identify differences in the legal treatment of sexual and gender minorities: decriminalization, civil and political inclusion, protection from hate crimes, access to inclusive education, access to labor markets, and access to public services and social protection.
