Context
This topic amplifies the voices of persons who historically have been less represented in local democratic and decision-making processes. Through the initiative, the specific needs and problems of the local places where LGBTIQ+ persons live will be made visible, making it possible to address and resolve these issues.
Action path
LGBTIQ+ leadership will be promoted in mechanisms of municipal and community participation, the exercise of rights and citizenship will be encouraged through monitoring of public policies, and a tool will be created for evaluation of public policies with a focus on sexual and gender diversity that contributes the foundation of inclusive public policies.
