Women's Fund

LBTQ women face particular challenges within the global movement for LGBTQI human rights due to the intersection of their gender and sexuality, especially in countries where the rights of women are limited. 

In 41 jurisdictions, private, consensual sexual activity between women is criminalised. Even where this is legal, LBTQ women are often threatened with violence and arrest. LBTQ women are also affected by gender-based violence including corrective rape and forced marriage, with trans and gender nonconforming women being especially vulnerable. 

The LBTQ Women’s Fund has been established by GiveOut to support organisations working to advance the human rights of lesbian, bisexual, trans, and queer women around the world.
