'OUT in the World' map

What does the world look like for LGBTQ+ human rights?

Welcome to our 'OUT in the World' map

What is happening to LGBTQ+ people around the world?

Our new interactive map 'OUT in the World' can help you out. Whether you are a potential tourist wanting to travel to a new country and want to know more, or you are a refugee entering a new country and you need information. Perhaps you are working on a research project, or you simply want to know more about a nation state and LGBTQ+ rights, then our map is for you.

Containing links to ReportOUT's country-wide 'OUT in' research projects, and selection of our YouTube videos, podcasts and short country fact files, this map is your helpful guide to queer rights across the globe. The map is a 'living' project and we will add new map pins and links over time as new projects and other content become available.

What does our map contain?

'OUT in' Profiles

Our 'Out in' country profiles are a deep dive into a nation state. Developed alongside partner organisations within nation states, these research projects will give you a deep insight into LGBTQ+ rights in a nation state

Nation State Fact Files

Our fact files are smaller pieces of research conducted by our Human Rights researchers, which give a brief and broad overview of LGBTQ+ rights in a nation state, including safety, cultural and social attitudes, the law, politics, and more. These are ideal quick reads for tourists

Hidden Voices Podcasts

Developed by our Education and Training Officers, our 'Hidden Voices' podcast series examined 20 different podcasts from 20 different nation states. You can find out more about the lived experiences of global LGBTQ+ activists by listening to them

YouTube Videos

ReportOUT host a number of events with LGBTQ+ activists worldwide. These videos (usually about an hour long) give a real taster of what is happening in different nation states, Check them out!

ReportOUT Stickers

Our ReportOUT stickers seem to get everywhere! Find out where the next one is - can you find one in your country?

Explore our map

Scroll around the map and zoom in on any country where there is a ReportOUT logo and you will find information developed by ReportOUT about that nation state. Some regions on the map have high concentrations of map pins (such as Europe) so they don't always appear in view at far zoom distance - just zoom in further to view. All country reports are downloadable, as are our nation state fact files. Links to our podcasts and videos will allow you to watch and listen to them.

Are you organising an event or a project on LGBTQ+ rights in your nation state that we could partner with you on and add to our map?

If you are an LGBTQ+ organisation or activist from a nation state with an event that we could partner together on then our Events Team would love to hear from you:
