The OutRight Action International formerly known as International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (OutRight) is a US-based international non-governmental organization that addresses human rights violations against lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, intersex people, transgender people and people with HIV/AIDS. It is accredited by the United Nations and holds consultative status with that organization. OutRight formerly known as IGLHRC was founded by Julie Dorf in 1990, and incorporated as a non-profit organization on November 7, 1990. Though initially focused on human rights abuses in Russia, the organisation is now active in many parts of the world, including the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. IGLHRC is headquartered in New York City with satellite offices in Buenos Aires, Johannesburg, and Manila. In 2010, IGLHRC has also contributed in forming "An Activist's Guide" of the Yogyakarta Principles in Action. In 2015, IGLHRC celebrates their 25th Anniversary by changing their name to (OutRight Action International ). ("Why We Changed Our Name" ) explains why the organization changed it's name. ==Felipa de Souza Award== Since 1994, IGLHRC hands out an annual award, the Felipa de Souza Award, to honour a human rights activist or organisation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
