ILGA-Europe toolkit for training police officers on tackling LGBTI-phobic crime
Among all the actions undertaken by ILGA-Europe to combat LGBTI-phobic hate crime, it quickly became clear that providing tools to help our members and other LGBTI organisations to engage with police forces meets a particularly important need. Raising awareness among police officers and the authorities, promoting adequate training curricula, and fostering targeted cooperation are necessary in order to protect LGBTI communities from hate violence and to support victims. However, it is equally clear that training the police is only part of more comprehensive strategies that are needed to achieve social change. To build inclusive societies, free from prejudice and hatred, is the only way to eliminate homophobic and transphobic attacks.

Laying the ground for LGBTI sensitive asylum decision-making in Europe
ILGA Europe | Published in 2014
Directives 2013/32/EU (the recast “Procedures Directive”) and 2013/33/EU (the recast “Reception Conditions Directive”) are some of the directives that make up the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). In this document, references to recitals and articles of both Directives are prefaced as follows: APD (recast Asylum Procedure Directive) refers to Directive 2013/32/EU, and RCD (recast Reception Conditions Directive) refers to Directive 2013/33/EU. Read together with other such instruments, such as Directive 2011/95/EU (the recast “Qualification Directive”), they define a set of obligations for Member States and they shape a European asylum system that is much more sensitive to the cases of LGBTI applicants than was the case in the past. The present document explores the potential of the two Directives adopted in 2013 as regards the rights of LGBTI applicants and the obligations of national authorities in the implementation of the CEAS.

ILGA Europe Briefing on LGBTI Refugees and Asylum
ILGA Europe | Published in 2016
In 2015, the numbers of asylum seekers arriving in Europe increased exponentially. Many reports showed how minorities, including LGBTI people, were being specifically targeted in ongoing conflicts. Most of the asylum seekers travelled through Turkey, Greece and the Balkans, to seek asylum in Germany and Sweden, among other Member States. A significant number of these asylum seekers are LGBTI people. During their journey and upon arrival, they face additional risks in the form of harassment, exclusion, sexual violence, or other forms of violence.

In 2018, ILGA celebrated its first 40 years of service and commitment to our global family. When we look back, it is truly remarkable to see the number of political, legal and social changes have occurred globally since those early days in August 1978, when a group of visionaries founded the (then named) International Gay Association. Today, we are more than 1,500 organisations from over 150 countries and territories, queerer and more diverse than ever.
