Despite global advances, LGBTQ+ rights face significant challenges and are often made more challenging by the lack of inclusive official statistics. To address this data gap, the IASSIST LGBTQ+ Data Subgroup, a volunteer team of international experts, has compiled a diverse global resource of government, non-profit, and community-driven data. This session introduces their new online guide, built on a Shiny-powered platform for enhanced access and data visualization. By centralizing previously difficult to find data resources, this tool provides researchers and advocates with the essential evidence base needed to drive data-informed strategies and accelerate to accomplish greater global LGBTQ+ equality.
