ERC Conference 2024
The Equal Rights Coalition is holding its upcoming 2024 Conference on December 17 and 18 in Berlin, Germany. The co-chairs of the Coalition, Germany and Mexico and their civil society counterparts LSVD+ and Fundación Arcoiris, have the pleasure of hosting this event at the German Federal Foreign Office in collaboration with the 44 Member States of this Coalition and delegates from its Civil Society Network.
Under the theme of ‘Countering the push-back’, representatives from Member States will meet alongside civil society to assess the current landscape of LGBTQI+ rights and freedoms, and to devise strategic partnerships that respond to, and tackle, the foremost challenges affecting people of diverse SOGIESC around the globe.
During the two-day conference, attendees will have the opportunity to attend insightful plenary sessions from key stakeholders in this mechanism and across the landscape of the defense of human rights at different scales. As well, attendees will participate in sessions from our four Thematic Groups on key areas of interest regarding the rights of LGBTQI+ persons and the state of LGBTQI+ rights worldwide. There will also be an exciting social programme built into the Conference to ensure that attendees maximize their engagement and networking opportunities.
Registrations for civil society attendees are now closed following an intensive selection process conducted throughout the spring and summer of 2024. For delegates from Member States and/or intergovernmental and multilateral organizations, kindly reach out to your local German or Mexican mission or send us a message through the contact form on this website.
