The UK stands in solidarity with Germany and everyone affected by the appalling incident in Berlin. Pride is a celebration of human rights, freedom and dignity. Violence and hatred have no place in our societies, and must never be allowed to undermine these shared values.

“Inclusivity is not optional, it’s imperative.”
As the #CHOGM2024 People’s Forum kicks off, the Prime Minister for Samoa is unequivocal.

Deputy Head of Mission @AndrewxDavidson & Embassy staff joined other diplomats at Pécs Pride. The 🇬🇧 seeks a world where everyone is free & safe to play a full, active, equal part in society, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity/expression or sex characteristics. 🏳️🌈 – at Pécs, Hungary
An unfortunate reminder why protections against discrimination based on gender identity and expression are important for everyone.
No one should have to experience this.
