2020 proved to be a game-changer for LGBTI activists, sending almost every aspect of the work into the digital sphere. Luckily ILGA-Europe had been developing an online resource-sharing centre for a few years before COVID-19 hit, and we probably couldn’t have picked a better moment to launch it.
On 7 April, in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic, we celebrated World Health Day with the motto: “Building a fairer, healthier world”.

“When we are connected, our voices are louder and more heard.”
“If we dismantle the gender binary, we will make life a lot easier for everybody.”
“There is so much strength found in solidarity, now more than ever.”
“Hope is my keyword for the year.”
