'''ILGA-Europe''' is the European region of the [[International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association]] (ILGA World). It is an advocacy group promoting the interests of [[lesbian]], [[gay]], [[bisexual]], [[transgender|trans]] and [[intersex]] ([[LGBTI]]) people, at the European level. Its membership comprises more than 500 organisations from throughout Europe and Central Asia. The association enjoys consultative status at the [[United Nations Economic and Social Council]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://esango.un.org/civilsociety/showProfileDetail.do?method=showProfileDetails&profileCode=2936|title=NGO Branch, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs|publisher= United Nations |access-date=2013-11-02}}</ref> and participatory status at the [[Council of Europe]].<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20131106022103/http://ngo-coe.org/WebForms/NgoDetails.aspx?ID=298 Base de donées ONG : European Region of the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA-Europe)]}} [[Council of Europe]], accessed 2 November 2013.</ref>

==History==
ILGA-Europe was founded in 1996, when its parent organisation, the [[International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association]], established separate regions.<ref name="info" /> It took over responsibility for supporting the development of the [[LGBT rights in Europe|LGBT movement in Europe]] including [[Transgender Europe]], [[Inter-LGBT]], and for relationships with the [[European Union]], [[Council of Europe]] and the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]].<ref name="info" />

Initially ILGA-Europe worked entirely on the basis of volunteer resources. However, in 2001, its potential contribution to the European Union's anti-discrimination policies (established under Article 13 of the [[Treaty of Amsterdam]]) was recognised through the provision of core funding, currently through the PROGRESS Programme.<ref name="funding" >{{cite web|url=http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/about_us/ilga_europe_funding|title=ILGA-Europe's funding|publisher=ILGA-Europe|access-date=2014-05-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625132830/http://ilga-europe.org/home/about_us/ilga_europe_funding|archive-date=2014-06-25|url-status=dead}}</ref> This enabled ILGA-Europe to set up an office in Brussels, to recruit permanent staff, and to conduct an extensive programme of work in relation to sexual orientation discrimination within the [[EU Member States]] and the [[Enlargement of the European Union|accession countries]].<ref name="funding" /> Financial support from the Sigrid Rausing Trust, the Open Society Institute, [[Freedom House]], the [[US State Department]] and the [[Ministry of Education, Culture and Science]] of the [[Netherlands]] allows ILGA-Europe to extend its work in areas not covered by EU funding, including Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and on transgender issues.<ref name="funding" />

ILGA-Europe has hosted its annual conference at the end of October, since 2000, where member organisations elect the executive board and decide on the next year's working priorities.<ref name="conference" >{{cite web|url=http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/about_us/annual_conference|title=Annual Conference|publisher=ILGA-Europe|access-date=2014-05-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140625151225/http://ilga-europe.org/home/about_us/annual_conference|archive-date=2014-06-25|url-status=dead}}</ref>

ILGA-Europe works to promote equality and non-discrimination for LGBTI people in [[refugee|asylum]], [[education]], [[employment]], [[family law]], [[freedom of assembly]], [[hate crime]], [[hate speech]] and [[health]]; and works worldwide to protect [[human rights defenders]], trans people and intersex people.<ref name="issues">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/issues | title = Issues we work on | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140625084322/http://ilga-europe.org/home/issues | archive-date = 2014-06-25 | url-status = dead }}</ref> The Association provides funding and training for its 500 member organisations, "''to maximise efficiency and the use of resources by LGBTI organisations in working towards achievement of their goals; to maximise the impact of advocacy work at the European level; to ensure sustainability of the LGBTI movement in Europe.''"<ref name="develop">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/developing | title = Developing the LGBTI movement | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140625115132/http://ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/developing | archive-date = 2014-06-25 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

ILGA-Europe works with [[Institutions of the European Union|EU Institutions]], the [[Council of Europe]] and the [[Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]] to promote equality by lobbying and advocacy, including supporting the adoption of the proposed [[Directive 2000/43/EC|EU Anti-Discrimination Directive]], that would ban discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation in all areas of [[European Union#competence|EU competence]].<ref name="work">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/european_institutions | title = Working with the European Institutions | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140506201209/http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/european_institutions | archive-date = 2014-05-06 | url-status = dead }}</ref> It also uses strategic litigation at the [[European Court of Human Rights]] and the [[European Court of Justice]] to end discrimination, by identifying gaps in protections, encouraging organisations and individuals to develop court cases, and support such cases with legal resources and [[amicus curiae]] briefs.<ref name="how">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/litigation | title = Strategic litigation in the European Courts | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140625090613/http://ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/litigation | archive-date = 2014-06-25 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

For the [[2014 European Parliament election]], ILGA-Europe promoted its ''Come Out 2014 European Election Pledge'' to candidate [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]]s, which focused on priority LGBTI issues for the 2014–2019 Parliament: an EU roadmap on LGBTI equality; EU human rights enforcement; completing the EU Anti-Discrimination directive; combating homophobic and transphobic violence; an inclusive definition of 'family'; trans rights and [[gender dysphoria|depatholigisation]]; action against school bullying; health discrimination and inequalities; LGBTI [[right of asylum|asylum seekers]]; and making the EU champion LGBTI rights worldwide.<ref name="pledge">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/european_institutions/ep2014/mep/pledge | title = Come Out 2014 European Election Pledge | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140529194650/http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/how_we_work/european_institutions/ep2014/mep/pledge | archive-date = 2014-05-29 | url-status = dead }}</ref> 187 elected [[Member of the European Parliament|MEP]]s (25 percent) signed the pledge, including 83 members of the [[Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats|PES]], 14 [[Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group|ALDE]] members and 14 from the [[European People's Party (European Parliament group)|EPP]].<ref name="quarter">{{cite web | year = 2014 | url = http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/news/for_media/media_releases/a_quarter_of_elected_european_parliament_committed_to_lgbti_equality | title = A quarter of elected European Parliament committed to LGBTI equality | publisher = ILGA-Europe | access-date = 2014-05-29 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140529200441/http://www.ilga-europe.org/home/news/for_media/media_releases/a_quarter_of_elected_european_parliament_committed_to_lgbti_equality | archive-date = 2014-05-29 | url-status = dead }}</ref>

==Rainbow Europe==
Each May, ILGA-Europe releases its ''Rainbow Europe'' review, to mark the [[International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia]]. It reviews the human rights situation and assesses what life is like for LGBTI+ people in every European country, covering discrimination, family recognition, hate speech/crimes, gender recognition, freedom of assembly, association and express, and asylum laws. Since 2016 Malta has topped the rankings; in 2021 it was rated to have 94% progress toward respect of human rights and full equality, and in 2025 sits 4 percentage points ahead of Belgium in second place. In 2025 Azerbaijan and Russia were ranked as the worst for LGBTI+ equality, scoring just 2.25% and 2% respectively, closely followed by Turkey, Armenia and Belarus. The biggest increase since the 2013 review, was that of Malta - increasing by 54 percentage points, followed by Greece with a 41 point gain.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rainbow Europe Map and Index 2024 |url=https://rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/files/uploads/2024/05/2024-rainbow-index.pdf |access-date=6 January 2025}}</ref> A summary of all ''Rainbow Europe'' scores since 2013 (when scores were standardised as a %) are given in the table below, as well as a comparison with the scores as released in 2013 and 2025.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Report {{!}} ILGA-Europe |url=https://ilga-europe.org/report/ |access-date=2023-05-15 |language=en-GB}}</ref> The most significant deterioration in LGBTI+ rights in Europe is that of the UK, that has decreased 40 percentage points from a peak of 86% in 2015.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2023-05-11 |title=Rainbow Europe Map and Index 2023 {{!}} ILGA-Europe |url=https://www.ilga-europe.org/report/rainbow-europe-2023/ |access-date=2023-05-15 |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |date=2015-05-10 |title=Rainbow Europe Map and Index 2015 {{!}} ILGA-Europe |url=https://ilga-europe.org/report/rainbow-europe-2015/ |access-date=2023-05-15 |language=en-GB}}</ref> This equates to a 21 place-drop in ranking, from 1st (2013 to 2015) to 22nd.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":3" />
