We work for LGBTI people's safety, equality and freedom

This year’s Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of LGBTI People in Europe and Central Asia finds that finds that 2022 was the most violent year for LGBTI people across the region in the past decade, both through planned, ferocious attacks and through suicides in the wake of rising and widespread hate speech from politicians, religious leaders, right-wing organisations and media pundits.

Our brand-new 12-month programme focuses on the work being done by and for racialised LGBTI communities in Europe. We’ll be supporting up to 15 organisations’ work on socio-economic justice for racialised LGBTI communities through a combination of grants and regular peer learning.

At ILGA-Europe we recognise that the war is not going to be a short-term situation for vulnerable people in Ukraine, Russia, neighbouring countries, and all countries in Europe and Central Asia that are and will be hosting displaced people. Since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, we have been working alongside and on behalf of LGBTI activist organisations to support the humanitarian response under three strands: Information, Action, and Direction.
