Session Details: WorldPride Conference

Description

The rise of extremist and populist movements across different regions of the world has been accompanied by an increase in hate speech and narratives targeting LGBTIQ+ people. Through misinformation, fear-based messaging, or the alleged defense of traditional values, these narratives undermine advances in equality, diversity, and human rights. This workshop provides practical tools to challenge these narratives, using real-life case studies and international examples. Participants will explore the common anti-LGBTIQ+ narratives promoted by far-right movements, understand their social and political impact, and develop effective strategies to respond to them through advocacy, institutional action, and civil society engagement.
