We are very proud to announce that our Network has grown again with one more member, LGL – the National LGBT Rights Organization from Lithuania!
This is our first member in Lithuania, and first which focuses primarily on LGBT rights, so we are extremely honored to have them aboard
Here is a bit about them, in their own words: “The national lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights association LGL is the only nongovernmental organization in Lithuania exclusively representing the interests of the local LGBT* community. LGL is one of the most stable and mature organizations within the civic sector in the country as it was founded on 3 December 1993. The main principle that characterizes the activities of the association is that of independence from any political or financial interests, with the aim of attaining effective social inclusion and integration of the local LGBT* community in Lithuania. Based on its expertise in the fields of advocacy, awareness raising and community building, accumulated during twenty years of organizational existence, LGL strives for the consistent progress in the field of human rights for LGBT* people.”
