LGBT+ People: Equality
- Question
-
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the UK’s standing in the ILGA-Europe Rainbow Europe rankings.
- Answer
-
The UK is a proud champion of LGBT+ rights, both at home and globally, underpinned by our strong legislative framework. We are actively working to advance these rights, which include strengthening protections against anti-LGBT+ hate crimes and progressing a full trans inclusive ban on conversion practices.
Internationally, the UK has recently committed £21 million in global LGBT+ Rights funding. This significant investment is specifically targeted at the most urgent global environments where LGBT+ individuals face the greatest risks of violence, exclusion, and inadequate legal protection.
Looking ahead, the UK will host the 14th European IDAHOT+ in 2027. This event will provide an opportunity for the UK Government to collaborate with governments from across Europe, academics and experts on LGBT+ Rights, clearly demonstrating our steadfast commitment to upholding and protecting the rights of all.
