You Are on Our List: Urgent Support Needed for Chinese LGBTQ Activists at Risk

The report, “You Are on Our List: Urgent Support Needed for Chinese LGBTQ Activists at Risk,” highlights the increasing difficulties faced by LGBTQ activists in China. With growing government surveillance, censorship, and repression, many activists are being forced underground or into exile. This comprehensive report, created by China Rainbow Collective in partnership with Outright International, provides a detailed look at the challenges within the current landscape and underscores the international community’s crucial role in supporting these activists.

The report calls for immediate global action to offer legal, financial, and security assistance to Chinese LGBTQ activists. It urges international stakeholders to move from questioning “whether to support” to focusing on “how to support effectively,” particularly as activists face heightened risks.

In addition to addressing the difficult conditions in China, the report also explores the efforts of Chinese LGBTQ advocates who have moved abroad, stressing the importance of resource support and collaboration with international human rights organizations. The report concludes with a strong appeal for coordinated global efforts to ensure the safety and continued advocacy of Chinese LGBTQ activists inside and outside China.
