Asia Pacific making strides in inclusivity
The Asia Pacific region is a vibrant and diverse area making strides in inclusivity, though progress on LGBTQ+ rights is uneven. While countries like Taiwan and Thailand have championed equality with legal reforms and cultural acceptance, others maintain restrictive laws and social norms. Grassroots activism and growing support from businesses have sparked dialogue and gradual progress across the region. These shifts highlight the region's potential to embrace greater inclusivity while navigating complex cultural and legal landscapes.
