    Best practices

    In 2021, the European Parliament adopted a resolution declaring the European Union as an ‘LGBTIQ Freedom Zone’ in response to the growing hostility towards LGBTQI people in Poland and municipalities declaring themselves to be ‘LGBT-free zones’.

     

    Amidst the hostile environment that LGBTQI people face in the country, the Commissioner for Human Rights has repeatedly stood up for LGBTQI rights, including in a 2020 report calling for access to LGR for minors.

     

    In 2019, the mayor of Warsaw signed the LGBT+ declaration, which (inter alia) envisions schools to be inclusive and safe spaces for LGBT+ youth.

     

    Anti-discrimination programs took place in 2020 in some school districts in Warsaw, Pozna and Krakow, the latter being expanded to include more schools in the future.
