Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex People in Europe 2013

This 2013 edition of the Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex People in Europe is ILGA-Europes second edition of this annual publication, covering the period of January to December 2012. It provides a snapshot of what happened during the year, at both the international and national levels, and documents progress and trends regarding the human rights situation of LGBTI people. While this edition of the Annual Review once again covers various cases of violence, hatred and discrimination against LGBTI people (at times perpetrated at the hands of the State), the scope of the document is not that of naming and shaming, or pointing fingers at specific countries. Instead, this publication intends to serve as a tool for the exchange of best practices and policies, and as an open invitation for enhanced cooperation between governments and LGBTI civil society.
