Joint submission with Equite Sri Lanka and Equal Ground to the Special Rapporteur on Torture

29 September 2021

On 31 August 2021, ILGA Asia sent a joint submission with Equite and Equal Ground to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture on the impact of thematic reports for Sri Lanka.

The goal of our submission was to highlight gaps in the previous reports by providing evidence of LGBTI people and people of diverse SOGIESC becoming targets of torture and ill-treatment in Sri Lanka to inform future UN reports and recommendations.

We have also submitted a joint submission with C.A.N-Myanmar on the same issue, and it can be viewed here. Reach out to us if your organisation would like to collaborate on future joint submissions.

Additionally, we have prepared a guideline on preparing submissions to the SR Torture here. ILGA Asia is looking forward to preparing more resources on UN advocacy soon.
