The 2026 European IDAHOT+ Forum is co-hosted by the Government of Denmark, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the Council of Europe to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT+)

The Forum will address emerging challenges and opportunities for advancing SOGIESC equality across Europe, focusing on strategies to counter the rise of anti-LGBTI narratives and protect existing gains. Discussions will also highlight the implementation of national and regional action plans aimed at combatting discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics.

As in previous editions, European LGBTI civil society organisations will present their annual maps and indexes, offering a comprehensive overview of LGBTI rights in Europe. The Forum will also feature discussions on promoting inclusive practices in sport, addressing intersecting forms of discrimination, and strengthening legal protections for LBTIQ+ women.
