2024 Human Rights Violation Report

For the past decade, The Initiative for Equal
Rights (TIERs) has consistently documented human rights violations based on real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) in Nigeria.
These reports serve as a critical lens into the
lived realities of LGBTQIA+ individuals in a society marked by systemic homophobia, institutionalized queerphobia, and entrenched cultural biases.
The 2024 Annual Human Rights Violations Report highlights the ongoing harassment, discrimination, and violence endured by LGBTQIA+ individuals in Nigeria, shedding light on the urgent need for inclusive legal reforms and societal change.
