Our asks to Commonwealth leaders are clear 🌍 LGBTI+ organisations must be able to come together, build community, access resources, advocate for change and participate in public life. As leaders gather at #CHOGM2026, it’s time to turn these commitments into action.

Heads of Government at #CHOGM, 29 Commonwealth states still criminalise consensual adult relationships under mostly colonial-era laws. Our Charter promises equality. Are we living up to it? Repeal, partner, lead. #CommonwealthPeoplesForum @CWEquality @commonwealthorg

This week, we brought together civil society leaders, activists and Commonwealth stakeholders for the launch of TCEN’s Freedom of Association campaign. Freedom of association is fundamental to a thriving, inclusive Commonwealth. Together, we must protect it.
