Portugal

It’s essential to bring racial justice in all spheres of our lives, starting with Education, Administration and Companies. To protect minorities and marginalized people and fight for the human rights to all citizens will be a mandate to our party.

I wil actively work with the LGBTI civil society and associations for guidance, information and feedback on my work.
I will keep present in my every action and communication the values of human rights and equality as part of my continuous fight against hate, prejudice and polarisation.

Standing up for full equality, no discrimination, and an end to hatred in all spheres of life. Live, love and be whoever and however you want!

I will:
• propose and advocate for EU policies and laws that provide explicit protection on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics, and that provide concrete responses to the
needs of LGBTI people in all their diversity
• recognise that, in a context where LGBTI rights are used
as scapegoats in wider attacks on democracy, I need
to also actively engage on rule of law, democracy and
inequality as part of my commitment

Being a strong advocate and defender on the needs of LGBTI people in all their diversity and intersectionality. Urging for the reinforcement of EU policies and laws to protect on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics.

I commit to prioritizing and integrating gender and queer concerns and perspectives, in their broadest and most inclusive form, into all decisions and actions throughout my term in the European Parliament.

As MEP I want to ensure the involvement of civil society through information actions and European citizenship courses to promote citizens’ knowledge and involvement with the European Union.

If I’m elected as an MEP (and even if I’m not) I intend to fight with our elected MEPs for the respect of the rule of law and human rights everywhere in the European Union, opposing any regressive stances in LGBT+ policies like those seen in Poland until recently and still in place in Hungary. The party I run with has been criticizing the situation in these countries for some years now, even not being part of the European Parliament, not only in Portugal and the rest of the EU but worldwide. I intend to achieve full removal of legal and social discriminatory barriers applied to LGBT+ people.

I will continue to be vocal and active in LGBTQIA+ rights in politics

Yes. As a black intersex person that has multiple sclerosis, my commitment is mandatory. Because of my peer European activists I have gained a stronger voice. For me intersectionality, antiracism and LGBTIQA+ rights are my core work as an activist.

By defending the LGBTQ rights

The next mandate can solidify the work of the EU regarding the rights of LGBTIQ persons. Having worked for 3 years in the LGBTI Intergroup in the EP, I know well that our work cannot be done without the incredible civil society that defends human rights daily in the EU and across the world. For the next mandate we need: 1) again a dedicated Commissioner for Equality, with more executive power, 2) a second LGBTIQ Equality Strategy that proposes and delivers on legislation, 3) better protection of the freedom of movement of rainbow families, 4) secured funding for critical work by CSOs.

My priority is to ensure there is a next LGBTIQ+ Equality Strategy and make sure it's duly implemented. I will propose to include LGBTI rights in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and maintain a close dialogue with queer civil society. More generally, as a guiding principle, I will promote the defence of public services in all the appropriate legislative files. Figures show that the LGBTI community is disproportionately affected by the housing crisis and underfunded health systems.

As you mentioned I will advocate for EU policies and laws that pro- vide explicit protection on the grounds of sexual orien- tation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex cha- racteristics, and that provide concrete responses to the needs of LGBTI people in all their diversit

Work together bringing LGBTQIA+ rights in paper to the reality of those in the EU that still are not able to enjoy them. Namely, through empowering legally and financially the organizations in the frontline that work to give visibility and normalize gender and sexual diversity.

I am fully committed to upholding the principles of the Come Out 4 Europe pledge and delivering on its commitments if elected to the European Parliament. I believe in the fundamental rights and equality of all individuals, including LGBTI people, and recognize the importance of addressing recent polarization and threats to their rights. If elected, I will actively work towards promoting LGBTI justice, equality, and democracy across the EU and beyond. This includes advocating for robust EU policies that defend the rights of LGBTI people both within the EU and globally.
