The LGBT Centre, Human rights organization in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
The LGBT Centre is a human rights organization in Ulaanbaatar working to advance equal rights and protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people across Mongolia. The organization runs training programs for police officers on hate crimes and delivers support services to those facing discrimination or violence.
The center was founded in 2007 and gained official recognition in 2009 after a lengthy legal struggle with the Ministry of Justice and Home Affairs. This breakthrough represented a significant turning point for the legalization and institutional establishment of LGBTQ rights work in Mongolia.
The center holds annual Pride marches since 2013, drawing hundreds of participants who gather to increase visibility across Mongolian society. These events have become an important occasion for the community to show up publicly and connect with one another.
The organization is based in Ulaanbaatar and can be contacted for information or support services. Visitors should note that opening hours and service availability may vary, so checking ahead is advisable.
In 2018 the organization carried out social experiments where people held identity-declaring signs in public spaces to measure social acceptance. This action provided unique insights into public perception and response to LGBTQ topics in Ulaanbaatar.
