Yesterday, EPOA co-handed over a joint statement calling for an EU-wide ban on conversion practices to Equality Commissioner Hadja Lahbib. Launched by ACT LGBT, the ECI is backed by the Pan-European Pride movement. Pride unites people. 🌈

Pansexual Pride Day — 8 December 💗💛💙

Today we celebrate pan people and uplift a community too often overlooked. Attraction isn’t limited by gender identity, and Pride isn’t complete unless every identity is seen and respected. Your identities and voices matter. 💗💛💙

World AIDS Day 2025 ❤️

Today we stand with all people living with HIV. With the U.S. government choosing not to mark World AIDS Day this year, Europe must step up. We need strong funding, equal access to care and a renewed fight against stigma.

International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 🧡

Today we join the global call to end gender-based violence. Women, girls and gender-diverse people — including LGBTIQ women and trans people — face heightened risks.
