irst days at the Unstoppable Pride Summit 🌈

We explored how Prides navigate political and community realities, shared how agendas form, and discussed what truly mobilises people today. Clear purpose, shared values and community trust stood out.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 🧡

Today we join the global call to end gender-based violence. Women, girls and gender-diverse people — including LGBTIQ women and trans people — face heightened risks.
Violence is preventable. Solidarity is essential.

Tomorrow we wrap up European Testing Week! 🧪🌍

Albania strengthens protections 🇦🇱🌈

Albania has adopted a new Gender Equality Law — a major step for human rights and the LGBTIQ+ community. It bans discrimination based on gender, gender identity, and sex characteristics, aligns with EU standards, and uses an intersectional approach.
