Interesting reflections on professionalisation in the #LGBTI movement as means to building resilience & wellbeing. Having resources, time & structure doesn’t only make the work more effective, but more human. Italy an example of a heavily volunteer-reliant movement. #IELjub2023

There is huge pressure and we cannot deny this time is difficult, but the work continues as we continue to care for each other, and for so many others - Evelyne Paradis reflects on 18 years leading ILGA-Europe #IELjub2023

The fundamental thing I've learned is that it is okay to have ideas, to be passionate about something, and not to be undermined in that. But also to acknowledge when you mess up and make amends. And to celebrate wins together! Ailbhe Smyth at #LJub2023 panel on solidarity and trust

Our msg from the ERA - Equal Rights Association conf in Pristina: To counter the anti-gender movement we must continue to advance legal protection of #humanrights of #LGBTI people + build social acceptance + alliances. To continue doing all this, LGBTI organisations in Europe need more funding

Activists will keep on working even in light of the risks, and it's time to recommit to supporting LGBTI organising in Russia through funding, security assistance, logistical and diplomatic support to relocations of those at risk, and other forms.

Congratulations Michael O'Flaherty, looking forward to our continued work together towards full protection of the rights of LGBTI people!

An extensive overview of developments across the region by ILGA-Europe and members, shows an alarming increase in hate speech and violence. And complacency of states that allows for it.

Fantastic news and huge congratulations, another step forward for a Europe respectful of trans folks' identities and experiences! 🏳️‍⚧️🎉

Thank you for a fantastic conversation Special Envoy: Human Rights of LGBTQI+ Persons Stern, and for your continued commitment to ensuring protections for LGBTQI people through US foreign policy and cooperation with civil society. Plenty of work ahead of us!

The vast majority of Georgians support joining the EU, yet the government is making another step against its people.

This year we will have seen elections in over 30 countries of our region. We know how quick LGBTI people can be turned into scapegoats after a single political shift, when there are no laws and policies to protect them. #RainbowMap shows again: we do not have enough safeguards.

📢The #IDAHOTforum24 Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap kicks off! We are excited to welcome all speakers & participants, to discuss "the future of freedom & equality in 🇪🇺" with our Council of Europe MSs representatives, IO & INGO partners & the #LGBTI civil society leaders joining us in The Hague🇳🇱🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #coeSOGIESC

As we celebrate #IDAHOBIT, let's remember: Europe needs stronger laws and policies to protect #LGBTI people. Without these, we cannot talk about safety or about rule of law and democracy in the #EU and beyond.

The new Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Michael O’Flaherty, has highlighted that #Georgia’s new foreign agent law is likely to target #LGBTI NGOs first, amidst a rise in violence and discrimination against LGBTI people across Europe context.news/socioeconomic-…

Alarmed by what I’m hearing at #EuroPride2024 #HumanRights Conference in #Thessaloniki but filled with hope by the energy and commitment of #LGBTI activists and human rights defenders.

Huge thanks to LGBTI Intergroup, Kim van Sparrentak and @MarcAngel_lu for kicking off the new mandate and shining light on the human rights of LGBTI people
