As many of you will be aware, we compiled and presented a significant body of evidence to the United Nations last year to make the GANHRI, the UN’s National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) controlling body aware of the significant failings of Great Britain’s now thoroughly misnamed ‘Equality and Human Rights Commission’ (EHRC), especially in regard to their hostile activities against the transgender community in the UK. This document ran at over 60 pages, and alongside a supplemental document containing further evidence was submitted as part of the EHRC’s reaccreditation process by GANHRI, in which NHRIs are rated using an ABC…

Translucent.Org.UK is based in Portsmouth, United Kingdom, and our focus is on the human rights of people who are transgender in our country.

Congratulations @Nancy_M_K Download the PDF report from stonewall: https://www.stonewall.org.uk/resources/rainbow-britain-report-2022 For decades now, we have seen a steady increase in social acceptance of lesbian, gay and bi relationships, and steady increase in the percentage of the population who identify as lesbian, gay or bi.
