Have your say! Consultation on implementation of the 2020-2025 LGBTIQ strategy

The European Commission is responsible for planning, preparing and proposing new European legislation. This is called the ‘right of initiative’. In this context, the European Commission has recently published an initiative to report on the mid-term implementation of the 2020-2025 LGBTIQ strategy.

The initiative aims to take stock of the implementation of the LGBTIQ equality strategy halfway through its implementation period. The consultation will make it possible to gather evidence on how the strategy has performed. It will identify achievements and aspects that require more focus to fully implement the strategy in its remaining period up to 2025. It will assess how the situation of LGBTIQ people has developed, the progress that has been made, and which areas require more focus to fully implement the strategy by 2025. It will also reflect on developments at national level (including, where applicable, national strategies and action plans) and report on opinions of key stakeholders.

To prepare the review, the Commission will use the input received through this call for evidence. In addition, targeted stakeholder consultations involving Member States’ authorities, civil society organisations and equality bodies will make it possible to collect relevant input.

Submit your feedback via this webpage. The deadline for submissions is Monday 18 September 2023.
