In their own words

“ILGA-Europe’s vision is societies in which all people – with their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics – are enabled to live a fulfilling life as who they are, in safety, and empowered to make choices at all stages of their lives; societies which are just and fair, where the diversity of people is celebrated and where everyone is free to fully participate.”

“ILGA-Europe’s mission is: 1) To act as a regional voice in Europe and Central Asia for the rights of those who face discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics, including those who are at particular risk due to intersecting factors, such as gender, race, ethnicity, religion/faith, socio-economic status, ability, HIV-status and age (among others). 2) To achieve equality, inclusion and social justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people and to ensure protection from human rights violations.”
