percent - gross violations of human rights and discrimination. 100 percent - full respect for human
rights and full equality.
◦Ranking is based on laws and policies that directly impact LGBTI people’s human rights under seven
categories: equality and non-discrimination, family, hate crime and hate speech, legal gender
