This year, we marked several milestones that brought visibility, solidarity, and empowerment to LGBT+ people in Armenia.
In May, we hosted a series of successful events around IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia, and Transphobia). ur community gathered to celebrate love and resilience through community gatherings and discussions. We also used the occasion to present our annual report on Human Rights Situation of LGBT+ People addressing hate crimes, discrimination, and systemic challenges faced by LGBT+ people, pushing for greater accountability and justice.
June was marked by our Pride Month celebrations, with educational events, creative workshops, and community actions that highlighted the stories, identities, and strength of LGBT+ Armenians. These events not only raised awareness but also fostered a sense of unity and hope.
A major highlight was the 10th Rainbow Forum, which brought together activists, allies and community members to collectively reflect on the state of LGBT+ rights in Armenia and explore ways forward. This space was instrumental in forging new alliances and amplifying LGBT+ voices in human rights and democratic development discussions.
At the national level, we continue to push for meaningful change. By documenting violations and advocating for justice, we bring the realities of LGBT+ people in Armenia into public conversation and policy-making.
Thank you for standing with Pink and with LGBT+ people in Armenia. Together, we are building a future where equality and dignity are not just ideals, but realities.
