In September, Georgia passed laws that severely restrict the rights of LGBTQ+ people: · All LGBTQ+ information in schools is banned! · Pride events are banned! · Rainbow flags in public places are banned! · Gender-affirming healthcare is banned! · Adoption by LGBTQ+ people is banned!

The day after the laws were passed, Kesaria Abramidze was found stabbed to death in her apartment. Kesaria, who was only 37 years old, was one of the first openly transgender people in Georgia. The threat against the country's LGBTQ+ community is deadly serious.

Throughout 2024, Georgia has also seen large demonstrations against another proposed law that would make it harder for non-profit organizations to operate. In April, the government introduced a bill that requires all non-profit organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from foreign sources to register as foreign agents.

Radio Ranginkaman has existed for ten years and broadcasts daily via radio wave, satellite, online and on social media in order to reach the community both on and offline (as many do not have access to the internet).

In the absence of safe places for the community in Iran, Radio Ranginkaman tries to be a bridge between the scattered LGBTQI communities that exist and is often the only way to get contact and information about the global LGBTQI movement.

In January 2023, the Italian government decided to end the registration of children born to same-sex parents. In addition, legal parenthood was also withdrawn for non-biological mothers. This meant that only the biological or gestational mother was considered to be the parent of the child, who in turn received a new birth certificate where they removed the other mother. Lesbian couples who want to start a family often have to travel abroad because access to IVF and adoption is limited. During the spring of 2024, the court in Padua dismissed the government's decision which means that both parents are to be recognized as legal guardians.

Famiglie Arcobaleno works for the right to equal parenting for LGBTQI couples in Italy, where both parents are not recognized as the child's legal caretakers. They also want to de-stigmatize rainbow families who are often met with homo-, bi- or transphobia. By organizing conferences and discussion forums with representatives from various social institutions such as lawyers, sociologists, psychologists and teachers, they promote awareness about rainbow families and the need for a national law recognizing parenthood among LGBTQI couples. The Rainbow Foundation empowers Famiglie Arcobaleno to influence legislation that protects rainbow families in Italy who are in vulnerable positions because of the current government. Famiglie Arcobaleno also supports rainbow families by creating safe meeting places where they can get advice and help regarding their options for starting a family.

Casabierta is an organization that helps LGBTQI people who are fleeing threats and discrimination in their home countries because of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Since the 1980s, Costa Rica has received LGBTQI refugees from those persecuted by paramilitary groups in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, as well as more recently Nicaragua. Costa Rica acts as a sanctuary for LGBTQI refugees and migrants, where Casabierta provides access to legal advice, psychological support and medication.

Since 2018, the Rainbow Foundation has supported Casabierta's work to offer support and protection for LGBTQ migrants in Costa Rica. This far-reaching support has contributed to the business being able to continue and the center has been able to offer legal advice, information, psychological support and help with basic medicines and food.
