In reply to a question from the audience, Ms Ronner further invited lawyers and civil society to reach out to EU Delegations who can bring valuable support in this fight. Some of the recent examples in this regard are the conference on IDAHOBIT day on disinformation targeting LGBTI groups, the existing task force in the EEAS responsible for debunking fake news and disinformation or the work conducted on the ground by EU delegations not least in the context of gay pride parades and other campaigns.

Regarding our external relations, Ms Ronner further mentioned that the EEAS is currently working on an action plan to further address issues such as gender hate speech or the criminalisation of same-sex relationships in some parts of the world, and increasingly looking towards civil society organisations and activists to help mainstream LGBTI issues in our foreign policy.Īsked what EU diplomacy can do to uphold LGBTI rights globally, Ms Ronner noted the EU is engaging bilaterally with national governments and multilaterally with international organisations and the civil society and taking concrete steps to promote a discourse based on equality and fight toxic narratives.

It is thus crucial to avoid compromising with anti-LGBTI groups and keep fighting their arguments with the help of the civil society, the free press and academia among others. Mr Angel noted that there is a high degree of homophobia and transphobia even in the EU and that LGBTI minorities are often used as scapegoats by political actors. Strengthening a point raised before by Commissioner Dalli that the EU’s aim is to have one harmonised position both inside and outside the Union, Ms Ronner further stressed that we cannot be credible in promoting LGBTI rights externally if there are still gaps to be addressed within the EU. Ms Stella Ronner, EU Ambassador for Gender and Diversity, further stressed the EU’s ambition to be a frontrunner of LGBTI rights. Mr Marc Angel (Luxembourg, S&D), MEP, Co-chair of the European Parliament LGBTI Intergroup also made clear that Council of Europe Committee of Ministers’ resolutions and European Court of Human Rights judgements remain a major source of inspiration for the Parliament, and the Council of Europe’s role is crucial as it enables to reach beyond the 27 EU Member States. Ms Dalli also stressed that the Commission and the Council of Europe are constantly working together and reinforcing each other’s actions. Furthermore, initiatives such as the recent Digital Services Act, the proposed Equal Treatment Directive, regular good practice exchanges and funding programmes represent concrete steps the EU is making in this direction. She pointed out, however, that the Commission’s first-ever LGBTIQ Equality Strategy has provided a new level of ambition for the EU in the field. She further stressed that except minimum standards in labour law and a few other areas, there is no real harmonisation on the topic of LGBTI rights across the EU, not least because it mostly rests on the competence of EU Member States. With a diverse audience from the local diplomatic corps, MEPs currently in Strasbourg for the Parliament’s plenary session and the general public, the event aimed at providing concrete responses for the further mainstreaming of LGBTI rights in political decision-making in the EU and in our external relations.Īfter an introduction by the President of APE, Mr Herbert Dorfmann, the conference featured a video address by Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli, in which she reiterated that a true European LGBTIQ freedom zone must allow all persons to pursue their life goals unhampered by stereotypes, structural barriers and the risk of violence. The conference offered a high-quality discussion on challenges and opportunities in the field of LGBTI rights in Europe from the perspective of different EU institutions.
