  Rainbow Map

  These are the main findings for the edition of the rainbow map

  The Rainbow Chart ranks 49 European countries on their respective legal and policy practices for LGBTI people, from %.

  The UK has dropped six places in ILGA-Europe’s Rainbow Map, as Hungary and Georgia also register steep falls following anti-LGBTI legislation. The data highlights how rollbacks on LGBTI human rights are part of a broader erosion of democratic protections across Europe. Read more in our press release.

  “Moves in the UK, Hungary, Georgia and beyond signal not just isolated regressions, but a coordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights, cynically framed as the defence of tradition or public stability, but in reality designed to entrench discrimination and suppress dissent.”

  Which countries impose the death penalty on gay people?

  Around the world, queer people continue to face discrimination, violence, harassment and social stigma. While social movements have marked progress towards acceptance in many countries, in others homosexuality continues to be outlawed and penalised, sometimes with death.

  According to Statistica Research Department, as of , homosexuality is criminalised in 64 countries globally, with most of these nations situated in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. In 12 of these countries, the death penalty is either enforced or remains a possibility for personal, consensual same-sex sexual activity.

  In many cases, the laws only apply to sexual relations between two men, but 38 countries include amendments that include those between women in their definitions.

  These penalisations represent abuses of human rights, especially the rights to freedom of expression, the right to develop one's own ego and the right to life.
