Diversity & inclusion

The European Union must act more quickly and more effectively

We believe in a united, fair and inclusive Europe where everyone is respected and can live fully and freely. We will, therefore, vigorously defend universal human rights rooted in our rich European culture. Our fight will remove all obstacles to an inclusive society, embracing transgender, transgenerational and transnational diversity.

We will actively support diversity and inclusion, defend the rights of minorities and work for the adoption of the horizontal anti-discrimination directive. We will guarantee equality by ensuring the same rights for all families in all countries of the Union.

In addition, we will abolish structural barriers across the continent, ensuring unhindered access for people with reduced mobility. To strengthen our commitment to fundamental rights, we will double the budget and staff of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, thereby expanding its mandate and functions.
