DIVERSITY WITHOUT BORDERS: SOCIAL INCLUSION, SEXUALITY, GENDER EQUALITY ON A GLOBAL SCALE

Abstract

Introduction: The LGBTQIA+ movement has its roots firmly planted in centuries of history of marginalization.

Objective: This study aims to describe the current dynamics of social inclusion, LGBTQIA+ rights, and gender equality on a global scale.

Method: This is a reflective review substantiated by national and international books and journals relevant to the theme, in which it brings two points of discussion: Legislative advances related to LGBTQIA+ rights and Fight against discrimination and for the promotion of acceptance of sexual and gender diversity.

Results: The results presented here are divided into Legislative advances related to LGBTQIA+ rights in the world and gender equality, Fight against discrimination and promotion of acceptance of sexual and gender diversity where we list the findings of the literature and policies regarding the challenges of the LGBTQIA+ population.

Conclusion: The last decade has brought significant advances and setbacks, especially in Brazil, the previous federal administration promoted a rhetoric contrary to the so-called "gender ideology", seen as a threat to the "Brazilian family". This context highlights the urgent need to expand the debate and strengthen actions that guarantee social inclusion, LGBTQIA+ rights, and gender equality in a broad and effective way.
