DFID recognises that the realisation of human rights underpins sustainable development. Across our work we will seek to protect the human rights of LGB&T people, and to ensure that all groups are able to share in the benefits of development, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. In order to move DFID’s work on LGB&T rights into the next phase, DFID will focus on building clarity and narrative around non-discrimination in development, positioning LGB&T as a core development issue; identifying and engaging with the Southern voices that are beginning to emerge; building new relationships (with civil society and the private sector for example) for indirect influence on decision-makers and on society, and, developing and utilising evidence to support sustainable change.
