At one of the largest ever ILGA-Europe Annual Conferences, hundreds of equality and diversity organisations have come together to issue a strong call for change – right at the heart of the European political system.
The 2018 Rainbow Europe package, launched by ILGA-Europe today, provides real evidence that progress on LGBTI equality law and policy is slowing down in Europe.
Progress on LGBTI equality still exists in Europe, but not with the speed or spread that is required to achieve real equality. European leaders need to be courageous or risk having progressive gains rolled back, warns ILGA-Europe.
Today is a turning point in the advocacy work of Norway’s trans activists – 6 June marks the final parliamentary vote on long-awaited updates to the legal gender recognition process. Now, trans people in Norway aged 16 and older will have their gender legally recognised without having to be sterilised first.
The Swiss electorate has voted against a popular initiative that would have effectively prevented same-sex couples from marrying. The initiative, backed by the Christian Democratic People’s Party (PDC) in Switzerland was rejected today (28 February 2016) by 50.8% to 49.2%.
Greek parliamentarians approved a new civil partnership bill today which will legally recognise same-sex couples for the first time. ILGA-Europe send their congratulations to all the LGBTI organisations and politicians who have contributed to this historic result. Among 249 present parliamentarians, 194 voted for and 55 voted against this law.
