Homosexual, lesbian, and transphobic violence and hatred continue to significantly affect LGBTQIA+ people, significantly impacting their safety and fundamental rights. Recognizing hate and implementing supportive practices means creating increasingly safe and free spaces for self-expression.

The training provides civil society with tools to strengthen efforts to combat homophobic, lesbian, and transphobic hatred in Italy.
With the professionals who will be speaking, we will discuss language and the valorization of differences, the legal framework on hate crimes, gender affirmation rights in the workplace, and building safer spaces for queer people in social environments.
