This third edition of the report continues its mission to document\, analyze\, and advocate for the rights of the LGBTQI+ community in Bangladesh. Building on the previous reports from 2022 and 2023\, this edition highlights both the progress made and the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQI+ individuals in a society where full equality remains an elusive goal. \nThe full report will be released through an official press statement and will be available both online at www.jmbf.org and in hardcopy\, aligning with the International Day Against Homophobia\, Transphobia\, and Biphobia. \nThe year 2024 brought a mix of hope and hardship. The shift in political power with the new administration in August offered promises of improved human rights protections. However\, discrimination\, violence\, and stigma persisted—exacerbated by the influence of fundamentalist groups\, political parties\, and student movements. \nThis report details the daily struggles of LGBTQI+ individuals\, from legal and social exclusion to targeted violence. It also highlights the courageous efforts of activists and organizations working tirelessly for justice and equality. \nBased on extensive research\, media coverage\, and firsthand accounts\, the report captures the state of LGBTQI+ rights from January to December 2024. Nonetheless\, many incidents of abuse remain unreported due to fear and societal stigma\, limiting the full visibility of these violations. Despite these challenges\, the report serves as a crucial tool for understanding the urgent need for systemic change and continued advocacy.
