Watch the trailer to our new documentary, A Better Place, which takes an in-depth look at the toxic legacy of British colonial-era sexual offence laws.

And meet the global network of activists, lawyers and legislators striving for equality and justice for everyone.
In a landmark decision the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women found that the criminalisation of consensual, same-sex intimacy between women is a human rights violation.
