Across Africa, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons experience violence and discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity and expression from state and non-state actors and institutions.1 Governments, religious leaders, health professionals, and media outlets have at times advanced the idea that LGBTQ identities and behaviors are a form of psychological disorder, mental illness, religious sin, or even possession by a supernatural entity.

What commitments have the global humanitarian system made that should apply to LGBTIQ people, as they do to all others? What capacities must the system have to respond to the specific needs and priorities of LGBTIQ people? What challenges exist within the system that may leave those needs unmet?
