与性取向和性别认同相关的人权终于成为全球辩论的核心。然而，全球有 78 个国家继续将同性性行为定为犯罪，并且由于大英帝国的法律遗产，其中 42 个国家（超过一半）属于英联邦国家。近年来，许多州出现了新的性民族主义，导致殖民时期对男性鸡奸法的执行力度加大，对女性之间的性行为进行了新的刑事定罪，并对跨性别者进行了歧视。 《英联邦的人权、性取向和性别认同：非刑事化和变革的斗争》作为第一本关注英联邦女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和双性人 (LGBTI) 以及所有非异性恋者经历的书，对这些发展提出了挑战。该书提供了迄今为止全球范围内同性性行为和关系非刑罪化斗争中最广泛的分析。
Human rights in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity are at last reaching the heart of global debates. Yet 78 states worldwide continue to criminalise same-sex sexual behaviour, and due to the legal legacies of the British Empire, 42 of these – more than half – are in the Commonwealth of Nations. In recent years many states have seen the emergence of new sexual nationalisms, leading to increased enforcement of colonial sodomy laws against men, new criminalisations of sex between women and discrimination against transgender people. Human Rights, Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity in The Commonwealth: Struggles for Decriminalisation and Change challenges these developments as the first book to focus on experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) and all non-heterosexual people in the Commonwealth. The volume offers the most internationally extensive analysis to date of the global struggle for decriminalisation of same-sex sexual behaviour and relationships.
