Pride 2022

Celebrate Pride with LGBTQIA+ activists around the world! This year let us show our PRIDE and fight for a world where everyone’s rights are fully protected, respected, and fulfilled.

On this page you’ll find actions you can take, ideas for organizing, and resources to learn more about LGBTI rights. Take Action!

PRIDE FOCUS

ABORTION ACCESS FOR ALL

Abortion and reproductive healthcare is not just a cis-women’s issue. Trans and gender non conforming people use birth control, can get pregnant, and need quality abortion access that is inclusive and affirming.

LGBTQIA+ people can be disproportionately impacted by strict abortion laws that limit or criminalize access. Demand that your state uphold the right to abortion, and that abortion care and access includes and affirms LGBTQIA+ people who seek care.

TAKE ACTION

Download the petition and collect signatures at Pride. Demand your state protect abortion for ALL!

TURKEY: METU PRIDE MUST BE ALLOWED TO PROCEED

On June 7, 2022, the Middle East Technical University (METU) based in Ankara, sent an email to all students, declaring the campus-based Pride march on June 10, 2022 ‘categorically banned’, threatening the participants with police intervention.

METU Pride must be allowed to proceed. Demand that the METU administration protect the faculty and students’ rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly.

LEARN MORE

Throughout Pride month, commit to learning more about LGBTI rights and what you can do to support LGBTQI+ people!

  • If you misgender someone, don’t panic. Read this to practice how best to respond.
  • Know the difference between gender identity, gender expression, sex assigned at birth, sexuality, and emotional attraction (be sure to notice the explanations below the awesome gender unicorn graph).
  • Read more about using inclusive language and why it matters.
  • Find out more about how you can be a good ally for LGBTQI+ people in your life.
  • Ever wonder about the LGBTQI+* acronyms? Read more here about some of the acronyms and terms you see. At Amnesty, you may notice we use different acronyms at different times. LGBTI rights describes the body of human rights law and practices, but we tend to use LGBTQI+ when speaking about the movement itself to include queer-identifying people.
  • Learn more about what LGBTQI+ people face globally with these maps on sexual orientation and gender identity around the world.
