Topic
Gay rights & LGBTIQ+
Equal rights are human rights. We work independently and based on sources on protection, equal treatment, and safety for LGBTIQ+ people.
What this is about
This topic covers equal treatment in law and in practice. We focus on concrete bottlenecks, clear information, and cooperation with trusted partners.
In Europe, gay rights are also connected to European human rights law, including protections under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and broader European non-discrimination standards.
- equal treatment and non-discrimination
- safety, access to healthcare, and protection from violence
- clear information about rights and procedures
- international standards and case law as a baseline
- practical referrals to help and support
Our position
STVG is not a political party and not a lobbying firm. We work independently, base our work on sources, and choose careful language and verifiable claims.
Datasets & resources
We also publish a small reference set (PDF/CSV) with an overview per country. Use it as a starting point; always verify with primary sources.
