What we can learn from LGBTI activists against all odds In countries where governments are pushing back on LGBTI people's rights, joining Pride events is a courageous act that carries higher risks. However, it is in their invisible, everyday work where LGBTI activists showcase their most profound courage. The LGBTI movement in Turkey, as well as in Armenia and Azerbaijan, serve as remarkable examples of resilience against all odds.

Prides and public protests are not the only signs of a strong movement. The LGBTI movement in Turkey, as well as in Armenia and Azerbaijan, serve as remarkable examples of resilience against all odds.

Respect for fundamental rights is non-negotiable on the path to EU accession. But in Turkey, attacks on Pride events and regressive constitutional propositions underscore the precarious state of the human rights of LGBTI citizens. #FridayBlog

The European Equality Fundraiser 2023: Photo Essay Our Equality Fundraiser on June 29 was an evening of unity, reflection and celebration of the power of activism as over 200 participants gathered in Brussels to support LGBTI rights in Europe and Central Asia. Petra De Sutter, Belgium’s Vice Prime Minister, was the guest of honour. Drag artist Mocca Bonè, the Mow Quartet and DJ Eliana brought the entertainment, and the focus was on how everyone can play their part in ensuring equality amid the current backlash on LGBTI rights and lives.

Relive the incredible moments from the June 29 #EqualityFundraiser2023 through this photo essay! We are immensely grateful to the over 200 people who joined us in an evening of unity, reflection and celebration of the power of activism. #FridayBlog
