Amnesty International members worldwide are today engaging in targeted actions addressed to the governments of Jamaica, Ukraine and South Africa.
“Simply because of who they are, LGBTI people in many countries face discrimination, violence and fear as a part of their daily lives. On the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia, Amnesty International is calling on thousands of activists to make a strong show of solidarity to help change attitudes and realities in Jamaica, Ukraine and South Africa.”
