Short Summary
|
In many parts of the world lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons are subject to cultural and legal injustice, leading in turn to economic injustice. As a result of being marginalised and socially excluded, and as a consequence of the stigma that is culturally imposed, LGBT persons are prevented from participating in society on equal terms, for example by having limited opportunities to earn a livelihood. This has led to a situation of widespread poverty among LGBT persons in many countries. This action plan by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) follows up a study carried out in 2005 on Swedish policy and administration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in international development cooperation. It presents in operational terms how the work with LGBT issues can be integrated in Sweden's international development cooperation. Concrete activities are identified, such as explicitly including LGBT issues in existing training sessions for Sida's staff and cooperation partners. The action plan is to be reviewed at the end of each year.
