LGBT Ireland has introduced their goal, which will run between 2023 and 2027, focusing on research, LGBTQ+ awareness training, and combatting anti-trans views in the country.
It will also aim to offer more help to LGBTQ+ refugees and asylum seekers and advocate for certain legislative reforms in Ireland.
Ireland might face some competition in achieving its goal, with the Welsh government has set itself the same target back in 2021.
Commenting on the plan, Paula Fagan, the chief executive of LGBT Ireland, said: “The past five years have focused on building a sustainable organization, expanding the services we provide, and developing our training and advocacy capacity. The ambitious plan we have launched builds on our achievements harnesses what we have learned from our incredible member organizations and strategic partners, and sets us up for the next phase in our evolution.”
LGBTQ+ organizations in Ireland have welcomed the new strategy.
Adam Long, the board director of Ireland’s National LGBT Federation told PinkNews, “We fully share the ambition of our friends at LGBT Ireland. Having been the first in the world to overwhelmingly affirm marriage equality by popular vote, and pass progressive gender-recognition reform the same year, we now need to see further progress concerning the likes of effective hate crime laws, a full ban on so-called conversion therapy, and proactive LGBT+ inclusion in all our schools, among other key priorities.”
A spokesperson for ShoutOut steering committee, an organization delivering educational workshops to help people become better LGBTQ+ allies said, “It’s great to see that Irish LGBTQ+ organizations are aiming to make Ireland the friendliest LGTBQ+ nation in Europe.”
