EU Fundamental Rights Agency hold Dublin Meeting on LGBT rights

March 8th, 2010 · 2 Comments · LGBT

A roundtable on LGBT Rights hosted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights is taking place tomorrow in Dublin.

FRA will bring together experts in LGBT rights in a roundtable meeting on 9 March in Dublin. These will include representatives of governments, cities, police, civil society organisations, academics, the European Commission and the Council of Europe. Under discussion will be ways to combat discrimination, bullying and harassment experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. The meeting will present good practice examples of combating bullying and harassment in schools, tackling hate crimes and ensuring safety for LGBT communities. It will also be an opportunity to review existing gaps in, and constraints upon, the development of long-term LGBT friendly policies, and to transfer knowledge and experience.

Is it just me or did anyone else not know it was happening? Maybe someone is liveblogging it? Any of our esteemed local organisations telling anyone it’s happening?
