The UK continues to champion the rights of LGBT people. We welcomed the decriminalisation of consensual same-sex activity in both Belize and Seychelles in 2016. However, we recognise that more needs to be done to address discrimination, and to promote diversity and tolerance.

In both Belize and Seychelles, the British High Commissions are in close contact with the LGBT community and continue to provide them with advice and support. The British High Commissions, together with our partners in both countries, raise concerns about LGBT rights and equality with the governments at every opportunity.

DFID does not have a bilateral programme with Belize but it benefits from a number of DFID Caribbean regional programmes.
