LGBTI PEOPLE IN SPORTS: "GOVERNING BODIES MUST RESPECT THE RIGHT OF LGBTI PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE" During the 56th United Nations Human Rights Council, we highlighted how "many schools, sports governing bodies, and governments are prohibiting trans, gender-diverse, and intersex people from playing in categories based on their gender identity and/or sex characteristics; and subjecting them and other women and girls to invasive practices which may amount to torture or cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment." "The bodily integrity and autonomy of all women and girls engaging in sports needs to be safeguarded", we reiterated.

#SouthKorea: ILGA World and ILGA Asia intervened in a landmark case, in which the Supreme Court will be soon called on to rule whether a same-sex partner is entitled to public health insurance coverage as his partner’s dependant. "We urge the Court to ensure that same-sex partners are able to access state benefits on equal footing.”
In a landmark case, ILGA World and ILGA Asia filed a joint amicus curiae brief urging the NHIS to extend state benefits to same-sex partners. The Supreme Court will soon rule on whether a same-sex partner is entitled to public health insurance coverage as their partner’s dependent, as is the case for heterosexual couples. “Denying health insurance coverage to same-sex couples solely based on who they are violates the principles of equality and non-discrimination,” ILGA World and ILGA Asia stated.
