In their own words
“Athena Forum is a European initiative for sex-based rights, democratic values and political courage. We work to safeguard women‘s rights, children’s rights and the rights of lesbians and gay men, and to ensure democracy and pluralism remain central to policy and legal frameworks. We recognise sex-based rights as foundational to legal and societal protections.”

“We insist that public policy reflect material reality and be guided by robust evidence and transparency. We affirm the right of minors to bodily integrity and protection from premature or ideologically driven medical interventions. We defend open debate and the freedom to discuss complex issues, even when uncomfortable or controversial. We interact with European institutions and advocate for clarity, accountability and respect for sex-based rights in policy and decision-making. We provide cross-sector analysis and engage media and the public. We convene public forums across Europe, supporting democratic processes.”
