"Save the Children's Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Policy Position"

This policy position sets out principles for Save the Children's advocacy as it relates to the spectrum of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). It aims to better protect the rights of children who are seen as not conforming to conventional norms relating to SOGIE. The SOGIE policy and Gender Equality Policy are mutually supportive—the SOGIE policy provides additional guidance for staff implementing the movement-wide Gender Equality Policy.
