The Rainbow Tribunal International Human Rights Reporting Centre provides a secure community reporting avenue for individuals, victims, witnesses, advocates, and organizations around the world to bring forward concerns involving alleged human rights violations affecting 2SLGBTQIA+ people and communities.

If you or someone you know has experienced discrimination, persecution, harassment, violence, threats, homophobia, transphobia, or other serious mistreatment because of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, you may submit a report to the Rainbow Tribunal for review.

Reports may involve incidents occurring in public spaces, workplaces, schools, healthcare settings, places of worship, online environments, communities, or within governmental and institutional systems.

What You Can Report

You may submit information concerning alleged:

  • Human rights violations
  • Homophobia or transphobia
  • Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity
  • Hate speech and targeted online harassment
  • Threats, intimidation, or violence
  • Persecution of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals
  • Denial of access to services or opportunities
  • Forced displacement or discrimination affecting LGBTQIA+ refugees and newcomers
  • Government or institutional policies that may negatively impact LGBTQIA+ rights
  • Other serious concerns affecting the dignity, safety, equality, or freedom of 2SLGBTQIA+ people

What Happens After You Submit a Report?

Submitted reports may be reviewed by the Rainbow Tribunal according to its internal policies and procedures. Depending on the nature and available information, the Tribunal may:

  • Request additional information or documentation
  • Review publicly available evidence
  • Refer individuals to appropriate support or professional resources
  • Invite parties to participate in voluntary dialogue or mediation
  • Conduct an internal community review or hearing
  • Issue a non-binding community finding or recommendation
  • Publish an educational or advocacy report
  • Bring attention to broader patterns of discrimination or human rights concerns
  • Encourage appropriate authorities or recognized human rights organizations to investigate serious allegations

The Rainbow Tribunal may also use anonymized or aggregated information to identify emerging international trends affecting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.

Your Voice Matters

You do not have to remain silent. By sharing your experience or reporting what you have witnessed, you can help raise awareness and contribute to a greater understanding of the challenges faced by 2SLGBTQIA+ people around the world.

Every report matters. Every voice deserves to be heard.

If you are in immediate danger or believe a crime has been committed, please contact your local emergency services or appropriate law-enforcement authorities. The Rainbow Tribunal does not replace police, courts, human rights commissions, or other official investigative bodies.

The Rainbow Tribunal is an independent, non-governmental community reporting and advocacy organization. Reports submitted to the Tribunal do not automatically establish that a violation occurred, and Tribunal findings are non-binding.
