Global Risk Outlook for LGBTQIA+ Individuals

Report

July 14, 2025

The rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) individuals are under increasing pressure across the world.

Amid a global trend of negative rhetoric and regulation targeting LGBTQIA+ inclusion, particularly the social and legal status of transgender people, legislative developments around the world are reflective of a broader rollback in positive attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people and issues.

Hate speech across high-profile social media platforms continues to rise, with several campaigners encouraging the harassment of transgender and gender nonconforming people in public settings.

To coincide with Pride Month in the UK, our team has put together an insightful report analysing developments in the threat environment over the past 12 months for LGBTQIA+ individuals, from legislative changes to evolving physical security risks and the online safety environment.
