This document will serve as an important tool for our monitors who document human rights violations against LGBT people. It covers key aspects of the monitoring process and includes topics such as:
- Human rights and their violations
- How to organize a monitoring team and collect relevant data
- Documentation standards, including working with victims and witnesses
- Ethical principles and team safety
Monitoring helps identify gaps between international human rights standards and national legislation, and also offers practical steps to protect the rights of LGBT people.
