In @Parlimag, I recall that in inclusive societies, everyone, regardless of personal characteristics, will be able to fully contribute to the best of their abilities.

Equality and diversity are the moral and economic choice.

I discussed the upcoming legislative initiative on #EqualityBodies with youth representatives.

I draw inspiration from their visions & insights for an EU where equality & diversity are our strength.

My takeaway: ‘youth test’ on policy making.

I opened the session on positive narratives @ #RomaniWeek2022 with @PeterPollak8 & @oscehcnm

The EU Roma Strategic Framework addresses the whole of society to reduce #prejudice & #antigypsyism.

We must promote awareness of Roma culture, language & history.

The implementation of the LGBTIQ Equality Strategy is our priority in the area of #LGBTIQ equality.

We must guarantee equality in all spheres of life to ensure that all are free to be themselves.

#IDAHOBIT2022 is an occasion to celebrate sexual & gender diversity and freedom, whilst remaining vigilant against discrimination, hatred & violence.

Too many Europeans are affected by stereotypes and discrimination against who they are and who they love.
