2025 F&M Global Barometers Annual Report
With attacks on LGBT+ human rights increasing from the far right in the United States and elsewhere, the availability of reliable data on LGBT+ human rights has never been more important. The Franklin & Marshall Global Barometers (FMGB) provide a framework for objectively documenting and uniformly monitoring and analyzing global progress toward the protection of human rights for LGBT+ individuals. The 2025 Annual Report systematically summarizes the latest findings and analyzes longitudinal trends between 2020 and 2022 on the F&M Global Barometer of Gay Rights (GBGR) and the F&M Global Barometer of Transgender Rights (GBTR) at the regional, country, dimension, and indicator level. The report also introduces a new dataset, the Franklin & Marshall Global Barometer of Unified LGBT Rights (GBUR), a comprehensive measure of LGBT rights.
