The EU: still a leader on human rights and LGBTI equality? A political debate on the EU’s next 5-year agenda, human rights and LGBTI equality

The debate will bring together candidates to the European Commission’s Presidency and other high-level representatives from the five main European political parties to discuss the human rights and LGBTI equality agenda of the next European Parliament and Commission. Panellists will discuss action needed to guarantee protection of the human rights of LGBTI people, and will also talk about ongoing challenges to advancing recognition of these rights in the EU. In the lead-up to the EU elections, they will also be asked what they and their parties intend to do to ensure that human rights and LGBTI equality issues remain strong on the agenda of the next Commission and Parliament.
