SUMMARY:Rooted in Rights: LGBTI Communities and the Future of Democracy
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of IDAHOBIT 2026 — “At the Heart of Democracy” — the UN LGBTI Core Group invites member states\, UN entities\, and civil society to a high-level panel conversation on the indispensable role of LGBTIQ communities in democratic life.\nAs 2024’s global “super election year” made clear\, anti-LGBTIQ rhetoric has become a signature tool of anti-democratic movements worldwide. But the story of LGBTIQ communities and democracy is not only one of targeting — it is one of leadership. LGBTIQ people have long modeled the principles democracy aspires to\, sounded early alarms about authoritarian trends\, and shown up to defend democratic institutions when they came under threat.\nThe programme will open with a keynote video statement by Erika Hilton\, Brazil’s first Black transgender woman elected to national office and current Chair of the Chamber’s Commission on the Defense of Women’s Rights — speaking to what LGBTIQ political representation means for democracy\, from the inside. The panel will also feature Ari Shaw (Williams Institute\, UCLA)\, whose research documents the statistical link between attacks on LGBTI rights and democratic backsliding\, and Tamás Dombas (Háttér Society\, Hungary)\, speaking from the frontlines of one of Europe’s most sustained experiments in democratic erosion — and its historic reversal. \nLimited in-person tickets available for non-UNHQ pass holders.

SUMMARY:11th Rainbow Forum: Compliance or Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The Rainbow Forum is an important annual event in Armenia and the country’s largest queer activist gathering\, bringing together LGBT+ people and allies\, activists and human rights defenders\, professionals\, and parents. \nIn 2026\, we are once again organizing one of the most significant events of the LGBT+ movement — the 11th Rainbow Forum — under the theme: “Compliance or Resistance”. \nAs war\, repression\, and political instability continue to intensify across the world and the region\, safe spaces for LGBT+ people are increasingly threatened. Many are forced either to resist or to leave their countries in search of safety\, often arriving in Armenia. At the same time\, the upcoming elections in Armenia are accompanied by renewed waves of manipulation and growing anti-LGBT+ and anti-gender rhetoric targeting women\, trans\, non-binary\, and other non-heteronormative people\, as well as defenders of women’s and LGBT+ rights. \nThis year’s forum is about our response. \nThe Rainbow Forum creates a safe and inclusive platform where participants can raise issues that matter\, share experiences\, support one another\, and take part in conversations about meaningful change for the LGBT+ community in Armenia. It is also an opportunity to learn from experienced activists\, human rights defenders\, and allies who continue contributing to equality\, dignity\, and justice.
