Queer rights in the Visegrad Four

Join us for an internationally cast debate on the state of LGBT+ rights and social acceptance in the Visegrad Group countries. Significant differences exist among these countries, ranging from the more progressive approach in the Czech Republic to restrictive laws and attitudes in Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.

This debate is not just about identifying problems but also about finding concrete solutions. We aim to foster dialogue between queer activists from the V4 countries, seeking opportunities for cross-border partnerships and resource sharing. Together, we will develop strategies and mobilize the wider community to take concrete steps towards strengthening the rights and visibility of LGBT+ people in our countries.

Come join this important discussion to help support the courage, innovation, and achievements of LGBT+ activists and communities in our region. Your engagement can make a difference!
