It reflects the dynamic and evolving landscape of human rights in the region. 

The Forum will explore strategies to enhance inclusivity, ensure equal treatment, and confront the complexities of discrimination in an increasingly diverse and interconnected continent. 

With an eye on the Council of Europe’s SOGIGESC equality agenda, the Forum seeks to challenge the forces of violence and discrimination that continue to threaten the safety and dignity of LGBTIQ+ individuals. 

The programme will include plenary discussions and informal parallel sessions, each designed to contribute to this year’s overarching theme. 

The Forum takes place in Valletta on 20 May.
