HRWF (10.11.2025) – On 10 November (15:00 – 16:30 CET), the Policy Department B of the European Parliament organises, upon the request of the Committee for Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, a Workshop on the new EU LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy 2026-2030 proposed by the Commission, which follows up its previous LGBTIQ Equality Strategy covering the years 2020 – 2025. The event will be webstreamed .
The new Strategy will form part of the Union of Equality and is structured around three main objectives:
1) protect (ensuring safety and tackling hate against LGBTIQ+ people; countering hate and discrimination online; ensuring protection for LGBTIQ+ applicants for international protection and migrants),
2) empower (laying the foundations of LGBTIQ+ empowerment; empowering LGBTIQ+ through employment and social inclusion; ensuring equal rights across bodrers) and
3) engage (strengthening engagement within the EU; maintaining worldwide engagement to uphold LGBTIQ+ people’s human rights).
During the event, the Commission will present the new Strategy, academics, as well as FRA and stakeholders will intervene to give their perspectives and will debate with MEPs on the topic.
Ahead of the event, ILGA-Europe had published a press release available HERE.
