On December 5-6, Ukraine’s capital hosted the 17th National LGBTQI+ Conference that brought together over 150 activists, volunteers, and experts from across Ukraine to discuss pressing issues faced by the LGBTQI+ community.
The event marked a milestone in the growth and strengthening of the LGBTQI+ movement in Ukraine. Among the distinguished attendees were Martin Harris, the UK Ambassador to Ukraine, and Eamonn Murphy, the UNAIDS Regional Director for Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Asia-Pacific Region. The UK envoy spoke about the importance of human rights and international solidarity.
The conference addressed a broad range of topics, from the impact of the ongoing war on the community to innovative approaches to healthcare and mental well-being.
Participants explored ways to ensure equality as Ukraine advances toward European integration. They also discussed advocacy efforts for legislative initiatives such as Bill 9103 on civil partnerships and Bill 5488 on hate crimes. The discussions highlighted the importance of objective media coverage of LGBTQI+ issues, the protection of activists, and access to medical and psychological care during wartime.
The conference concluded with plans to develop a 2025 Roadmap for the LGBTQI+ community, outlining key challenges and priorities for the upcoming year.
