An online survey is seeking feedback from LGBTI communities ahead of the creation of a 'Global LGBTI Inclusion Index.' The United Nations Development Programme - UNDP and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights are identifying priority areas in which to focus on LGBTI inclusion over the next 15 years. An online survey seeks to establish feedback from LGBTI communities around the globe on the priorities areas and relevant indicators, that were identified as part of a recent Expert Group Meeting convened by the UNDP on measuring LGBTI inclusion. It was created by International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA World) in collaboration with OutRight Action International (formerly ILGHRC) and is part of an ongoing consultation process following the Expert Group Meeting convened by UNDP and OHCHR. Following the Expert Group Meeting, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is proposing to develop a ‘Global LGBTI Inclusion Index’. The proposed index will be based on other existing measures of development and equality such as the Human Development Index and the Gender Inequality Index. You can take part in the survey here.
