Queer Khaleeji was among the contributors to HRW's "Audacity in Adversity: LGBT" report.The report examines how LGBT activism survives under severe constraints, in repressive states and conflict zones, in places where activists risk social exclusion, prison sentences, and violence by security forces, armed groups, and even their own families. It also highlights creative approaches used in less repressive contexts to gain public support, identify government allies, and mainstream the rights of LGBT people in broader conversations about human rights and gender.

Queer Khaleeji participated in funding the initiative to abolish Art 198 through its members in Kuwait.
