About LGBTnet
Discrimination of LGBT – lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender – people is widespread in a number of countries in which Denmark has developmental
partnerships.
This website provides an introduction and resources on how to work with aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity for NGOs and others engaged in international development.

Arts & culture

There are numerous sources of information on life as a LGBT(I) person in the different countries where Denmark are engaged in developmental partnerships: Magazines, references to book titles, film clips or references to these. And at LGBTnet.dk we have started to include these in our resources. Read about for example the newest issue of Qzine - African’s only magazine of LGBTI arts and culture. Find them in our extensive database of resources.

West Africa organising

Normally, we don't find a lot of information on West Africa. It is therefore very interesting to be able to share this report on the LGBTQ organising in this area. The report can be found in both English and French here.

It's actually normal...

Sexual diversity has always been part of a normal society. Efforts should be focused on countering the stigmatisation that creates hostile and violent environments for those who are othered within heteronormative societies.

This and more in a new report: Diversity in Human Sexuality: Implications for Policy in Africa released by the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) in June 2015.
