It’s time to transform disruption into action and commit to ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

We call on the EU and European governments to:
✅ Ensure equitable access to testing, treatment and prevention, including PrEP
✅ Invest in community-led responses and human-rights-based policies
✅ Tackle stigma and discrimination so everyone can access care safely and with dignity

Across Europe, rising HIV acquisition rates and continued late diagnoses show a clear need for stronger political commitment.

Together with 30 other civil society organisations, we're calling on the EP's progressive political groups to maintain their political boycott of the newly created Scrutiny Working Group on NGOs (SWG).

Without any ground for concern, the EPP and far-right groups in the EP have set up the new EU Parliament “NGO Scrutiny Working Group” – and without any public agenda, no mandate, it is a prime example of lack of transparency.

A more consistent, transparent approach would support public trust and protect the EU’s credibility. But improving systems should not be confused with casting blanket suspicion on civil society.

Where NGOs do receive funds, they are among the most heavily scrutinised actors. And unlike other recipients, we often voluntarily publish additional information about our work, donors and governance.

3️⃣ Advocacy by civil society organisations is not a threat to democracy. It is a sign of it.

2️⃣ It strengthens democracy by making sure all voices are heard, including critical voices and especially those most often left out.

1️⃣ It allows the Commission to stay informed and engaged with what is truly happening on the ground and respond to real needs.

Hi! The judgment being based on the right to free movement derived from EU citizenship, we believe that it applies only to EU citizens who enjoy that right.

Hi! The judgment applies only to EU citizens who lawfully concluded a marriage in an EU Member State in which they exercised their freedom to move and reside, so unfortunately not to a marriage concluded outside the EU.

ILGA-Europe provided support to the applicants and their lawyers, Anna Mazurczak, Paweł Knut, Artur Kula, and Milena Adamczewska-Stachura in this case.

The Court confirmed what many have lived for years: Poland’s refusal to recognise same-sex marriages concluded abroad is incompatible with EU law. This judgment forces change and brings hope to many families.

Today’s CJEU ruling confirms: EU citizenship includes the right to live a normal family life without discrimination. Refusing to recognise a same-sex marriage concluded in another Member State violates EU law and the Charter. A long-awaited victory for love, dignity, and free movement.
