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

But for many LGBTIQ+ people, that’s still very far away – because of the discrimination, stigma and violence they face every day.<\/p>\r\n Nominations for this year are now closed and being processed so that we can announce this years’ awardees on 13 November.
