As we navigate an increasingly tumultuous world laden with conflict, unconditional backing of equal rights for all will become increasingly essential for the well-being and resilience of minority groups within Europe, Camille Ogoti writes.<\/p>\n<p>Right-wing, anti-gender rhetoric is surging across Europe. From Hungary\u2019s Viktor Orban, who has been vocally opposing what he frequently describes as &#8220;woke culture&#8221; and &#8220;gender ideology&#8221;, through to the Netherlands\u2019 Gert Wilder, whose Freedom Party recently campaigned to \u201cend political indoctrination \u2026 and gender madness\u201d, the use of identity as a political weapon and the targeting of minority groups is intensifying in many EU member states. The sad reality is that, in 2024, despite the many advances for equity and equality in our societies, we are seeing a growing commitment of millions of euros to &#8220;culture war&#8221; groups, which aim to roll back the freedoms and values we, in Europe, take for granted.<\/p>\n<p>Parts of the political right \u2014 emboldened by developments in the US and the striking down of Roe vs Wade \u2014 now see capital from attacking sexual and reproductive health, and the rights of women and LGBTQ+, under the guise of demography and concerns about so-called \u2018woke\u2019 practices of government. This has painted a target on the back of minority groups, to the extent that the volume of attacks on LGBTQ+ individuals in Europe now stands at a decade-high.<\/p>\n<p>These sentiments are further inflaming the political discourse on immigration. Germany, a powerful EU member state, is witnessing the surge in popularity of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, encouraging discussions around mass deportation. The heightened fears surrounding immigration, coupled with the surge in anti-gender sentiments, are placing LGBTQ+ refugees at an alarming risk of discrimination and deportation.<\/p>\n<p>Both the UN and the EU have recognised the call for recognition of the specific needs of LGBTQ+ refugees. Transgender individuals, facing elevated levels of transphobia across Europe, are particularly at risk. Hungary&#8217;s government, for instance, overtly opposes inclusive language internationally and reported hate crime levels are on the rise.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/02\/06\/can-europe-resist-the-anti-lgbt-politics-of-hate\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2024\/02\/06\/can-europe-resist-the-anti-lgbt-politics-of-hate\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/can-europe-resist-the-anti-lgbt-politics-of-hate\/\">Can Europe resist the anti-LGBT politics of hate?<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[555,696,6376,13272],"class_list":["post-125158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-csr-news-en","tag-europe","tag-lgbt","tag-politic-hate"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125158\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
