“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
– Article I of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
UNA LGBTI takes direction from the interests and passions of current UNA members, who convene in person and virtually, to advance important and timely issues related to LGBTI rights. UNA LGBTI champions have attended high-level events at the United Nations, march for LGBTI equality in Pride events across the country, organize local events connecting LGBTI equality to the Sustainable Development Goals, and take action to support UN initiatives like the Free & Equal campaign.
“I appeal to all governments and societies to promote the values of tolerance and respect for diversity, and to build a world where no one has to be afraid because of their sexual orientation and gender identity.”
António Guterres
UN Secretary-General
UNA LGBTI advocates for UN programs that further LGBTI human rights and empowerment nationally and internationally. Participation in UNA LGBTI is open to any current UNA member. If you’re already a member, email un@undevp.org for instructions on how to join UNA LGBTI.
