 In 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council created the mandate of the independent expert for protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, the IE SOGI. Since then, a lot of important and groundbreaking work has been done. The goals of the independent experts' mandate are to research, examine and provide visibility to the violence and discrimination experienced every day by gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, and other gender-diverse persons around the world. With these findings, the IE SOGI advises member states on best practices and measures needed to prevent, prosecute, and punish violence and discrimination through law, access to justice, and public policy. To achieve this, the independent experts' mandate uses four methods—visiting countries to conduct fact-finding missions and raise awareness, receiving allegations and concerns of violence and discrimination based on SOGI and bringing them to the attention of states, engaging constantly in dialogue with society experts' academia and states, and finally conducting and publishing research on topics relevant to the mandate. So what can you expect to see more of? The mandate will continue dealing with individual cases, country visits and research, and speaking to the widest possible range of stakeholders. Every statement, report, and case finding is made public, so that citizens and policymakers have the opportunity to reference the material during conversations with their national governments. While international support for the IE SOGI mandate has grown since its creation, with much credit due to the active participation of civil society and great cooperation of member states, there is still much work and research to be done in order to ensure that every person, no matter where they live, who they are, or who they love, can live in a world free from violence and discrimination.
