Human Dignity Trust

The Human Dignity Trust is a legal charity that supports those who want to challenge laws that criminalise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people wherever they exist in the world. We work with local activists and their lawyers to uphold international human rights law, including a person's right to dignity, equality and privacy. Our technical legal assistance is free and available to anyone challenging the criminalisation of same-sex consensual intimacy through the courts. The Trust is supported by highly reputed lawyers, including top barristers and solicitors’ firms from around the world and has an impressive array of patrons. We work in a country only on the invitation of local organisations, and offer resources that organisations can utilise in order to implement their locally informed strategies.
