28/11/2024 Equality and Non-Discrimination
A conference organised by the Parliamentary Platform for the rights of LGBTI people of the Parliamentary Assembly, in collaboration with the SOGIESC Unit of the Council of Europe, will examine the violence and discrimination suffered by LBQ women in Europe, due to factors such as racial or ethnic background, gender identity or disability.
The conference, which will take place on Wednesday 4 December 2024 from 9 am to 1 pm at the Palais de l'Europe, also aims to highlight the invisibility of LBQ women, tackle lesbophobia and identify solutions to protect their rights and dignity.
The event forms part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence (25 November to 10 December) and builds on the report by Béatrice Fresko-Rolfo (Monaco, ALDE), PACE General Rapporteur on the rights of LGBTI people. It will include the participation of parliamentarians, experts and activists.
