Enhancing the capacity of civil society organisations to support victims of anti-LGBTQI hate crimes
An initiative combating anti-LGBTQI hate crimes through multidisciplinary cooperation
Operated by: KMOP

CHALLENGE

One of the main bias motivations that generates hate incidents is sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. According to the EU LGBT Survey, 42% of respondents reported having felt discriminated against or harassed on the ground of sexual orientation or gender identity in the year preceding the survey. While many EU member states have made significant progress in securing the human rights of LGBTIQ persons since the adoption of Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)5 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe a clear backlash against this positive trend has been observed in some member states following the COVID-19 pandemic, with this regression becoming increasingly pronounced.
