All countries are obligated to promote and protect the human rights<\/a> of all persons without discrimination.<\/p>\r\n

Yet hundreds of millions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) people still face discrimination, rejection, poverty, violence, prison, torture and even death – just for being who they are.<\/p>\r\n

The International Pride Awards seeks to shine a light on the work of brave and visionary equality heroes, to tell their stories, and to inspire more people to advocate for equality.<\/h2>\r\n

The award categories are:<\/p>\r\n
