standards
• Dialogue among the LGBTI communities on human rights.
Academics
• Researchers, intellectuals for promotion of the Principles
• Academic institutions must generate evidence and promote dialogue on LGBTI issues.
Families
• Families must stop violence and discrimination at first stage towards LGBTI people within the family
• Families must provide emotional support to LGBTI people and groups.
Private sector
• Private sector and business corporations must provide equal job opportunities for LGBTI people
UN/international organisations
• International organisations can assist states to define and fight extremism
• UN must pressurise states within the right parameters for implementing the Principles
• Dialogue among LGBTI people and groups for their rights and capacity building, resources and
security
• UN must engage with CSOs for the promotion of the Principles and human rights standards for the
protection of LGBTI groups
• UN must lobby for states to ratify international conventions protecting LGBTI people and start
working to convert the Principles into a legally binding international convention or at the very, least
introduce a Yogyakarta Principles index.
