On September 22, 2021, the UN LGBTI Core Group organized a side event during the high-level segment of the 76th session of the General Assembly to address the need to end the criminalization of same sex relations and trans identities in order to achieve the 2030 Agenda. As long as a part of the world’s population is criminalized simply for who they are or who they love, we will not be able to fully achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

Members of the LGBTI Core Group talked about their experiences and perspectives in a compilation video during the event.
