✍️🇮🇩 Sign our petition to #BanConversionTherapyNow in Indonesia now! In our fifth episode, Arisdo Gonzalez, an LGBTIQ youth activist from Pelangi Nusantara, talks about his experience of conversion therapy as a person of faith: “I love to say that conversion therapy doesn’t work for the LGBTIQ community. We don't need to be changed because from what I learned…God loves us so much. God shows that God loves everyone. You don't need to be changed. You were born to be gay and just proud to be gay. You don't need to be heterosexual or cisgender. And for the parents or for the churches who still do conversion therapy, please stop that. It's really bad for us. It doesn't work for us.” Listen to their full story in the video below, and stay tuned for more stories of conversion therapy in Asia. 👉🏽 Ready to take action?

On 19 July 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) released an advisory opinion impacting human rights in Palestine under Israel’s 57-year occupation. This opinion followed a December 2022 request by the United Nations General Assembly to evaluate Israel’s policies in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. We stand with the International Court of Justice ruling against the illegal Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory upholding the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. Israel must put an immediate end to the illegal occupation and cease the ongoing violence and human rights violations against Palestine.

LGBTIQ Communities in Jordan Speak Out at the 56th Human Rights Council Session! “Despite welcome progress, several laws and policies taken together restrict forms of expression; for those who are non-normative in their politics, sexuality, gender, and/or culture. These include the 2023 Cybercrime Law, the Censorship of LGBT-related sites, organizations, and platforms deemed “immoral” or “subversive”, the increasingly broad implementation of the Crime Prevention law; and, the lack of access HIV treatment in the Kingdom for non-registered refugees.”, Several queer individuals from different LGBTIQ communities in Jordan state in their address at the 56th regular session of the Human Rights Council regarding issues of censorship, and the lack of access to HIV treatment.
