LESBIAN AND GAY RIGHTS

Drawing on data from the Human Rights Watch Women's Rights Project since 1990, this work documents the pervasiveness of gender-based abuses that nations sponsor and/or tolerate. It also shows how governments and human rights organizations must address sex discrimination and violence against women.

Human Rights Watch, under director Kenneth Roth, leads the struggle to focus the world's eye on human rights issues at home and abroad. Its annual World Report, written in straightforward, non-technical language, conducts a systematic investigation of human rights abuses in every country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.
