⚖️Recent legal developments ❌restrict gender-affirming care for transgender youth. ✅It is critical to reaffirm that medical treatment should be led by qualified professionals. ⛔Political interference in individualized care risks further marginalization and harm.

#LGBT women and girls face heightened risks of trafficking due to ❎discrimination❎ stigma❎systemic protection failures. 📥This reminder is clear: All women and girls, including LGBT individuals, have the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution.

🛤️Displacement should never mean more danger. 🏳️‍🌈While fleeing persecution, many #LGBT refugees face continued threats; on the road, at borders, and in shelters meant to protect them. 🙌It’s time to ensure safety, dignity, and rights every step of the way.

👎Once again, Istanbul Pride faces a ban. 🏳️‍🌈 Denying peaceful assembly on the basis of #SOGI is a clear violation of international human rights law. 🇹🇷 I urge the Turkish authorities to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all individuals without discrimination.
