About OutRight Action International
OutRight Action International, headquartered in New York, NY, is a mission-driven human rights organization dedicated to ensuring dignity and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer people everywhere. Founded in 1990, OutRight has spent over three decades standing alongside LGBTIQ activists and communities, working to make visible the struggles and resilience that often go unrecognized or ignored by those in power. What sets OutRight apart is its deep commitment to community-centered approaches and international solidarity—the organization believes that lasting change comes from supporting local movements and amplifying the voices of those most affected by discrimination and violence. Based in New York and connected through staff in ten countries, OutRight serves as a bridge between grassroots activists, established organizations, and decision-makers at the highest levels, including the United Nations. The organization's values center on caring deeply for people and communities, working collaboratively to achieve better LGBTIQ lives, and recognizing the intersecting challenges faced by marginalized groups within the broader LGBTIQ spectrum. Through its global programs, research, and advocacy efforts, OutRight documents human rights abuses, shares insights and analysis from movement leaders, and actively participates in international solidarity work. For those seeking to support or engage with human rights advancement for LGBTIQ communities, OutRight represents a trusted partner with decades of experience, international reach, and unwavering commitment to justice and equality.
