OutRight Action International

Outright conducted the first-ever global survey in 2019 ^[28] on the causes and effects of "conversion therapy" using interviews with experts and survivors around the world. The report dives into its main justifications by perpetrators, the most common conversion therapy practices used, and includes cases studies from people who have been through such programs. The survey provides insight on the social, cultural, and religious norms which undermine the identities and sexualities of LGBTIQ people.^[29]

"Harmful Treatment: The Global Reach of So-called Conversion Therapy"

A survey in 2018 ^[30] in 194 countries and found that only 56%, 109 countries, permit LGBTIQ organizations to register as so. In just 28%, 55 countries, LGBTIQ organizations exist but they cannot legally register. OutRight is concerned that LGBTIQ people in these countries may be at higher risk of discrimination and violence, as well as lack resources and funding.

"The Global State of LGBTIQ Organizing: The Right to Register"

Partnered with local LGBTIQ groups in the Middle East and North Africa (), with a focus on Iran, Iraq, and Turkey, to support activists and allies. The 2018 report "Activism and Resilience: LGBTQ Progress in the Middle East and North Africa"^[31] explains how activism in the region leads to progress on LGBTQ issues, and how challenges are met with the resilience by the movement.
