Declaration of Human Rights of Global Rainbow Crossers
2019.10.25 @ Taipei, Taiwan
The Global Rainbow Crossers Alliance (GRCA) is a California-registered non-profit organization dedicated to giving voice to an important and growing group of vulnerable people around the world, the "Global Rainbow Crossers,” and to fighting for their basic human rights. Twenty-three countries from all over the world gathered in Taipei on 25-26 October 2019, to hold the first annual Global Summit addressing the preservation of human rights for international Rainbow Crossers. We are existing members of the global community who face oppression through law and politics that has caused censorship, and restrictions in counseling, medical options, and religious liberty in different countries and regions.
Therefore, we call upon the nations of the world to recognize the GRCA and to acknowledge and guarantee their essential human rights:
That Rainbow Crossers: men and women who no longer identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer etc. (LGBTQ+), and have restored their gender identity according to biological sex; enjoy all human rights without any discrimination or government mandated sexual identification.
Around the world there is persecution, including censorship, discrimination and punishment. Rainbow Crossers are labeled as “homophobic, hateful, discriminatory and anti-LGBTQ+”.
Accordingly, we request:
-
Protection of human rights without discrimination for Rainbow Crossers
-
That this proposition and the philosophy of Rainbow Crossers be protected
-
The right to actively "seek assistance in changing" be protected
-
Equal voice and participation in international human rights initiatives.
