Rainbow Rights Project (R-Rights), Inc.

Rainbow Rights Project (R-Rights), Inc. is an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) legal organization in the Philippines composed of a team of gay and lesbian lawyers and gender activists from diverse fields. It seeks to empower the local LGBT Community by providing them the basic legal knowledge of their rights under the law and familiarizing them with the different legal structures and mechanisms. R-Rights works with the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines, government agencies, and non-government organizations, for the inclusion of LGBT issues in their programs and to ensure that the law and its institutions are not used as instruments of oppression and discrimination, or to further reinforce gender-stereotypes. It seeks the elimination of discrimination and violence by utilizing in-depth legal and policy studies, review and analysis, as well as legal reform measures and legislative advocacy, as concrete strategies to promote LGBT rights.
