A Necessary Inclusive Foreign Policy in Belgium

Forbidden Colours has sent a memorandum to over 120 MPs in the Belgian Federal Parliament, urging the new government to adopt a strong foreign policy on LGBTIQ+ issues. This initiative comes as Belgium negotiates its 2024-2029 government, highlighting the urgency of addressing the rise of anti-gender movements across Europe.

We emphasize the need for Belgium to maintain and enhance its position as a defender of LGBTIQ+ rights globally. Our proposals include allocating a specific budget to combat anti-gender movements in Belgium and Europe, implementing effective measures against foreign interference and disinformation on LGBTIQ+ issues, and nominating an ambassador to coordinate and promote LGBTIQ+ rights in international policy.

As Belgium forms its new government, we call for decisive action to protect LGBTIQ+ rights and democracy. For more information, click bellow or contact us directly.
