Issues we work on
Asylum in Europe
For LGBT people facing persecution
Beyond Europe
The situation for LGBT people and their rights is very different around the world. If in some European countries same-sex partners can marry and sexual orientation discrimination is prohibited by law, in some countries throughout the world LGBT people are subjected to discrimination and in the worst case - death penalty.
Employment
The introduction in 2000 of the EU Directive prohibiting discrimination in the workplace on the basis of sexual orientation represented an unexpected an much welcomed advance in the progress toward real equality for LGB people.
Families
ILGA-Europe works towards full recognition and equality of the diversity of families and family relations.
Freedom of assembly
The right to freedom of assembly is an important right for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people since, throughout the world, the community has a tradition of organising Pride marches.
Hate crime
In this section you can read about how ILGA-Europe works to fight hate crime, define hate crime and violence and you can find ressources and links to relevant websites.
Health
The legal issues related to the health of LGBTI people are issues that ILGA-Europe works on in several different capacities.
Transgender
ILGA-Europe defines itself as an LGBT organisation and has always strived to incorporate trans issues into its lobbying activities.
