Abstract: Rainbow Network for Rehabilitation Specialists (Niijiro Rehab Net) is a voluntary organization of rehabilitation professionals interested in SOGI (Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity).　Members from various professions and fields have come together under the common understanding that SOGI is important in rehabilitation. Since its establishment in 2020, journal clubs, online training sessions, and education at schools have been conducted.　"Rehabilitation" means "total restoration of human rights". It is necessary to continue extending our activities, focusing on how professionals could contribute to people with various SOGI conditions so they may "live as they are".
