Campaign Against Homophobia was founded in 2001 and is a non-government
organization operating throughout Poland. Only volunteers work for the
Campaign and they focus their efforts on a broadly understood fight
against homophobia.
Our main goals are as follows:
* Publicizing the discussion on the subject of
sexual minorities problems. Increase social representation for all
sexual minorities.
* Shaping tolerant attitudes towards people of other
than heterosexual orientation and removing prejudice and stereotypes
concerning them.
* Shaping and raising positive self-esteem of bi-, homo-, and transsexual people.
* Promoting knowledge about safe sex and sexually transmitted diseases, HIV/AIDS in particular.
* Abolishing in the Polish legal system regulations
discriminating against sexual orientation, so that they are compliant
with the requirements of the EEC.
* Introducing in the Civil Law the concept of legal partnership of people of the same sex.
* Acting against discrimination against bi-, homo-,
and transsexual individuals and counteracting the signs of homophobia
in the society.
* Promoting awareness of sexual and gender identification.
* Creating and introducing into the public
circulation anti-homophobic discourse which would be sensitive to the
procedures of exclusion and stigmatization.
To reach the goals we are planning to take several actions including
political lobbying, education in schools, educating bi- and homosexual
people, writing petitions, putting forward legislative propositions,
publishing materials, promoting bi- and homosexual culture.
As a part of our activities we are planning, in cooperation with other
organizations, to publish in February 2002 "The Report on Public
Figures and Institutions Discriminating Against Sexual Minorities in
Poland." The aim of the Report is to show society that in our country
Human and Civil Rights are not respected.
This is only one of many of our projects. More information on them can be obtained by contacting us.
Equal Rights for Everyone!
