Words are not enough. In 2024, the EU supported 10,500 human rights defenders worldwide.
21% were LGBTIQ .
Reliable. And that's the whole point.

Human rights are for everyone, everywhere.
No one should be treated unfairly because of who they are or whom they love.
Juneโs #PrideMonth is an opportunity to stand up for the equal rights & fair treatment of LGBTIQ people everywhere.

70 years ago, 7 countries gathered in Lugano, Switzerland, choosing a stage over a battlefield.
The @Eurovision was born to show that what we share as Europeans runs deeper than what divides us.

Freedom of expression, academic freedom, and creative liberty should never be taken for granted.
It's a collective achievement, reflected in your everyday actions.
In the EU, you have the space to speak your mind without having to shrink who you are.
