Stonewall works to achieve legal equality and social justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexual people.
We do this in a number of
different ways:
Policy development
Carrying out research, publishing briefings and working
with Government, business, NGOs and policy instituitions to develop
ideas and policy that remove discrimination and makes the lives of
lesbians, gay men and bisexual people better.
Cultural and attitudinal
change
Challenging the underlying cultural and attitudinal values
that allow discrimination to flourish. Changing cultures and
attitudes to positively value diversity.
Lobbying for legal change
Campaigning to ensure that legislation is
non-discriminatory and that the diversity and value of LGB life is
appropriately recognised in our own laws.
Providing information
Well-informed individuals and institutions are better able
to recognise how rights and responsibilities should be
exercised.
Community support and capacity
building
Helping communities to build supportive infrastructures
and acquire useful skills and expertise, through community
development, financial awards and encouraging active citizenship
among LGB people.
Good practice design and
advice
Working on a range of issues from homophobic bullying to
employment practice and pension provision to disseminate and
promote good practice.
