SUMMARY:2025 European IDAHOT+ Forum: “Advancing SOGIGESC Equality and Inclusion in a Transforming Europe”
DESCRIPTION:20 May 2025\, Valletta\, Malta – The 12th Edition of the European IDAHOT+ Forum will convene in Valletta under the theme “Advancing SOGIGESC Equality and Inclusion in a Transforming Europe\,” hosted by Malta under its Presidency of the Council of Europe. Co-organised by the Government of Malta and the Council of Europe’s SOGIESC Unit\, the Forum marks the International Day Against Homophobia\, Lesbophobia\, Biphobia\, Transphobia\, and Intersexphobia (IDAHOT)\, observed annually on 17 May. \nThe 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. \nAs 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. \nOn 21-22 May\, the Council of Europe’s Committee of Experts on Sexual Orientation\, Gender Identity and Expression\, and Sex Characteristics (ADI-SOGIESC) will conduct its 3rd meeting in Malta to advance its work\, including on a Draft Recommendation on Equal Rights for Intersex Persons and a review of Council of Europe Recommendation CM/Rec(2010)5  to member states on measures to combat discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity (CM/Rec(2010)5)
