ILGA Rainbow Index: ReportOUT response: the UK which once topped the table is now 22nd out of 49 countries

ReportOUT and the Section 28 Justice Coalition are proud to partner together to fight against censorship of LGBTQ+ people and highlight the awful impact of Section 28. Our organisations share the belief that LGBTQ+ people deserve to live their lives as themselves and we stand against all attempts to withhold or take away rights from LGBTQ+ people across the world.

ReportOUT is leading the development of a new international online training programme aimed at improving how police officers and criminal justice professionals engage with LGBTQI+ communities across the world.

At ReportOUT, we are continuing to closely monitor recent developments in Botswana following the government’s notice on 27th April 2026 to amend the Penal Code, as it stated that same sex couples were prohibited from engaging in sexual acts such as anal or oral sexual intercourse.

On the 11th of April 2026, several people were attacked and assaulted in the Shahbagh district of Dhaka, the country's capital city. Throughout the group of attackers, homophobic slurs and hate speech were chanted, with victims being targeted because they were assumed to be ‘queer’.

ReportOUT is open for a new Trustee Chair to help lead the charity in momentously challenging times for LGBTQ+ human rights. As a global human rights charity never have so many people relied on our services and expertise.

The Indian Transgender Persons (Amendment) Bill 2026 seeks to replace the right to self-identification on mandatory medical assessments and district-level screening processes. It also introduces a narrowed and exclusionary definition of transgender identity, effectively erasing recognition of trans men and non-binary persons.  

ReportOUT strongly condemns the recent passage of legislation by the National Assembly of Senegal that significantly intensifies the criminalization of LGBTIQ+ people and those who support them in Senegal.
