The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes the right of every person to life, privacy, health and equality before the law, as well as the right to freedom of expression and freedom from discrimination and violence, including torture. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons are constantly at risk of persecution and gross violations of their fundamental human rights in a number of countries. Many LGBT persons fear or face imprisonment, torture, abuse and even murder, solely because they live in a context that does not tolerate their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
