LGBT+ Rights in Ukraine

Freedom House seeks to improve respect for the human rights of LGBT+ people in Ukraine by strengthening and growing broad-based civil society and allies’ engagement.

Expanding Allies for LGBT+ Rights in Ukraine

Freedom House seeks to improve respect for the human rights of LGBT+ people in Ukraine by strengthening and growing broad-based civil society and allies’ engagement in support of the human rights of LGBT+ persons, reducing negative attitudes about LGBT+ people, and fostering respect for the rights of all among society, the authorities, and the legal profession.  By educating civil society about how LGBT+ rights fit into Ukraine’s larger struggle for human rights and democratic development and encouraging civil society representatives to declare their support for the human rights of LGBT+ people, FH and partners work to increase the number and visibility of allies who can encourage the larger public and provide moral support to LGBT+ people in Ukraine.
