This SSHAP Brief aims to provide local and regional non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and others involved in development and humanitarian programming in the Philippines with key considerations for addressing the complex needs of LGBTQIA+ people in humanitarian contexts. It seeks to support humanitarian actors to design and implement more effective, equitable and inclusive activities. To this end, the brief examines the social, economic and legal landscape for LGBTQIA+ groups, exploring their specific capacities and vulnerabilities during crises and offering practical guidance.
