In this special episode of ESGX Live, we will discuss the following questions:

What systems and policies have been used globally to discriminate against LGBTIQ individuals?
What recent progress has been made to defend, and advance human rights for LGBTIQ people around the world?
How can we fight for a future where LGBTIQ people everywhere enjoy full human rights and fundamental freedoms, exercise self-determination, form strong communities, and thrive personally and economically?

This event will be opened by Rick Mordesovich and will be followed by a fireside chat between Jessica Stern, Executive Director of OutRight Action International and Victor Madrigal-Borloz, Secretary General of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims, and UN Independent Expert on Protection Against Violence & Discrimination Based On Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity, moderated by Kate Kendell, Interim Legal Director, Southern Poverty Law Center, and former Executive Director, National Center For Lesbian Rights (NCLR)
