Reduce inequality within and among countries
The United States remains steadfast in our belief that democracy is the very foundation of any society. One that fully includes and protects the rights of all people and allows their voices to be heard; and that gives all citizens the opportunity to thrive, live in dignity, and with freedom to choose their leaders and their own path. USAID is reinforcing its commitment to strengthen democratic governance and is investing in democracy work to advance a free, peaceful, and prosperous world.
This Pride Month photo was taken on May 17, 2018, by the Equality Movement, a Georgian civil society organization partnering with USAID to advance equal human rights protections for all Georgians. The Equality Movement is combating workplace discrimination against members of the LGBTQI+ community through evidence-based advocacy and awareness raising activities. USAID is honored to support these initiatives and will continue to work to ensure the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons are respected and advanced in our work.
