IDAHO, world

Der er omkring 80 lande i verden, der forbyder homoseksuelle handlinger, og i en del af dem, kan man straffes med flere års fængsel, livstid eller dødsstraf.

I flere og flere lande, hvor homoseksualitet ikke betragtes som kriminelt, begås der oftere og oftere hate crimes mod homoseksuelle.

Siden er udarbejdet i samarbejde med LBL-International.

17 May – International Day against Homophobia

by ILGA-Europe

On 17 May 2007, for the third time the world marked the International Day against Homophobia. Patricia Prendiville, Executive Director of ILGA-Europe, said: “The International Day against Homophobia is a good occasion to once again raise the issue of homophobia still existing in Europe. Unfortunately LGBT people in Europe still face unfair treatment, prejudice and discrimination in all spheres of their lives. European, national and local politicians and authorities across Europe have done a lot to tackle homophobia already, but there are much more efforts, commitments and actions needed to completely eliminate this disgraceful phenomenon from Europe.”

This day was marked by various events in a variety of countries. On our website you will find:

• article by Terry Davis, Secretary General of Council of Europe
• viewpoint by Thomas Hammarberg, Commissioner for Human Rights, Council of Europe
• media statements by IGLYO, the Gay and Lesbian Rights Intergroup of the European Parliament, the European Women’s Lobby
• presentation on LGBT rights in the European Unions delivered by Christine Le Doar, member of ILGA-Europe Executive Board, in Paris during lesbian colloquia

State Homophobia!

ILGA - International Lesbian and Gay Association - har i april 2007 udgivet en oversigt over alle lande i verden og de love, der eksisterer for at forhindre to samstemmende mennesker af samme køn i at have relationer til hinanden.

Bekæmpelse af homofobisk mobning

Fem EU-parlamentarikere (Michael Cashman, Sophia in 't Veld, Raül Romeva i Rueda, Alexander Stubb og John Bowis) har i EU-parlamentet fremsat en skriftlig erklæring, der fordømmer homofobisk mobning og opfordrer alle medlemsstater til at bekæmpe homofobi.

Alle EU-parlamentarikere opfordres til at støtte erklæringen, og når den endelige afgørelse er faldet, vil det fremkomme på siden her.

Som lovet er her den endelige afgørelse:

Parliament Declaration on Homophobic Bullying falls short of signatures

by Evelyne Paradis

The Written Declaration on Combating Homophobic Bullying lapsed on 30 April, falling 154 signatures short of becoming an official written declaration of the European Parliament. The declaration presented by the European Parliament’s LGBT Intergroup and MEP John Bowis received the support of 239 parliamentarians between February and April, which is a very respectable score; indeed, very few written declarations end up being adopted. Unlike Parliament resolutions that are adopted by vote during plenary sessions, declarations are open for signature at a specific time and in a particular venue, making it less convenient and practical for a lot of MEPs to sign such documents.

The list of MEPs who signed the declaration is available on ILGA-Europe’s Website. http://www.ilga-europe.org/europe/news/call_for_action_let_s_stump_out_homophobic_bullying_in_europe

Citater

"Formålet med dagen skal være at inspirere til handling og reflektion i kampen mod alle former for overgreb på grund af seksuel orientering eller kønsidentitet. Dagen skal inspirere, støtte og koordinere alle initiativer, der fremmer ligestillingen, i teori og praksis, mellem alle borgere i de lande, hvor det er muligt at markere dagen."

Louis-Georges Tin, redaktør for Dictionnaire de l’homophobie (Presses Universitaires de France, 2003)
