REQUEST uses this blog to share timely information about human rights developments. We write about equality, non-discrimination, freedom of expression, freedom of association, digital rights, access to justice, and protection from violence and stigma.

Our materials are prepared for activists, lawyers, journalists, researchers, diplomats, civil society partners, and everyone who wants to better understand the situation of LGBTQIA+ people in Kazakhstan.

On this page, you can find REQUEST’s public statements, campaign updates, legal comments, event announcements, and human rights analysis. We also publish materials on strategic litigation, restrictions on LGBTQIA+ visibility, online censorship, anti-discrimination advocacy, and international human rights mechanisms.

Through this blog, REQUEST makes complex legal and human rights issues easier to understand. We believe that public information, legal awareness, and community knowledge are essential for dignity, safety, and access to justice.

You can also read our reports, learn more about REQUEST, and follow our work on strategic litigation and advocacy. These materials show how REQUEST documents human rights violations, analyzes laws and policies, and works with national and international partners.

REQUEST’s advocacy is informed by international human rights standards. These include standards on equality, non-discrimination, freedom of expression, freedom of association, and access to justice.

We use this space to connect local developments in Kazakhstan with regional and international discussions on human rights protection for LGBTQIA+ people.
