Out law
<\/strong>In cooperation with the US Embassy in B&H<\/p>

Project period: March 2012 – February 2013
The goal of this project is production of a manual on LGBT human rights, flyers and posters to combat the violence on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and to empower the (potential) victims of discrimination and\/or violence to report it to the authorities. Through these publications, we expect to transfer the knowledge on LGBT human rights, implications of violence and the importance of the reporting the violence committed against LGBT persons. As a part of this project, 5 flyers and 2 posters containing information on whom and how to report the discrimination and\/or violence, how the police should treat LGBT persons when they have been subjected to discrimination and\/or violence, as well as a flyer about coming out will be produced.<\/strong><\/p>

Step Up!<\/strong><\/p>

In cooperation with ILGA-Europe<\/p>

Project period: 2010 – 2012<\/p>

Step Up! is building on the foundation and knowledge learned of the ILGA-Europe project called \u2018Take Action! United against LGBT discrimination in Eastern Europe\u2019 that was carried out between 2006 and 2009. ILGA-Europe initiated the project due to a need of stronger LGBT organisations in the Western Balkans. A stronger LGBT movement on a national level is vital to fight the increasing discrimination, hate speech and hate crimes, and violation of the right to freedom of assembly towards LGBT people. As a part of this project, we have published a Report on LGBT human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2011 \u2013 Rozi izvje\u0161taj<\/a>.<\/p>
