SDG 10. Reduce Inequality Within and Among Countries

Abstract

The chapter underscores the urgency of creating an inclusive global society by comprehensively accommodating the intricate interplay among LGBTQ+ rights, territorial identity, and political dynamics. By recognizing the inherent connection between social acceptance and territorial profile, societies can build resilience by reducing inequality and creating environments where every individual’s identity is respected. Comparative analysis reveals a sharp contrast between regions embracing diversity and those imposing discriminatory policies. While Pride Parades symbolize the celebration of identity and the integration of LGBTQ+ narratives into a place’s essence, “LGBT-free zones” and restrictive legislations in certain countries starkly oppose this inclusive trajectory. The juxtaposition of these strategies highlights the fragile nature of equal rights and underscores the imperative of a global commitment to fostering an accepting society, emphasizing the significance of raising awareness and promoting understanding to foster a more inclusive environment.
