Barriers to the Global LGBTQ Progress (and How They May be Crossed)
Increasing globalization and modernization correlate with improvements in LGBTQ rights in most parts of the world, but not in member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). These countries may have hardened their cultural or historical perceptions of sexuality and gender in response to a perceived Western threat to local identity and national sovereignty. Additionally, highly developed and globalized Muslim-majority countries may…
Transgender rights are human rights: A cross-national comparison of transgender rights in 204 countries
Although lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people are often treated as a homogenous group, they are not treated equally by states and societies. The F&M Global Barometer of Transgender Rights (GBTR) represents the first multiyear attempt to assess cross-nationally the extent to which countries are human rights protective or persecuting specifically toward transgender individuals. Examining 204 countries from 2011 to 2019, the GBTR, w…
From persecutors to protectors: Human rights and the F&M Global Barometer of Gay Rights TM (GBGR)
Sexual minorities are the most vulnerable minorities on the planet. Their existence challenges cultural norms, traditions, and power structures. They have been treated as social pariahs and scapegoats for the economic, political, or social ills in their countries. However, countries vary widely in the extent to which they are protective or repressive toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. This article systematically analyzes …
The Southern Cameroons and minority rights in Cameroon
Advocating for Anglophone succession in a predominantly Francophone country, the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) purports to address Anglophone marginalisation. The Cameroonian regime, however, views them as terrorists. What is the likelihood of a peaceful secession or resolution of Anglophone grievances? This article examines the role of the SCNC in the struggle for minority rights in Cameroon, in the context of a failed democratic st…
Justice, Human Rights, and Reconciliation in Postconflict Cambodia
The Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and faith-based NGO aid to Africa
The authors examine the role of international faith‐based NGOs in foreign aid and development assistance for Africa, with special reference to the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). The MCC is successful in its contribution to development and empowerment in the 20 African countries in which it works because of its philosophical and programmatic focus on accountability, its holistic approach to basic rights, and a ‘listen and learn’ approach which…

Uganda: A Microcosm of Crisis and Hope in Sub-Saharan Africa
After more than 20 years of despair and chaos, Uganda seems to be surfacing slowly from a spiral of self-destruction at the same time as countries all around it have fallen to pieces or exhibit clear warning signs of doing so in the near future. Hope for the future is awakening among Ugandans and among analysts studying Uganda. Much of this hope springs from optimism about the regime of Yoweri Museveni and his National Resistance Movement (nrm). …
