We call for the unconditional release of people detained for exercising their fundamental rights. The Turkish government must stop its attacks on LGBTI people and other human rights defenders, sx workers (including trans sx workers), journalists and NGO staff.

Tayri Fadil (she/her) – @tayrintamazgha: “In this moment, we need anti-colonial allyships that confront the same system we organise in and uphold our liberationist values at the heart of the empire.” Thank you to the entire Board for your continuous work and dedication to our communities.

Alex Shah (she/they): “The best part of being a non-binary activist is being able to have authority over my work and express myself authentically, without allowing either to be colonised.”

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Aleksa Radonjić (he/him): “When I say we are done waiting, I do not mean we are defeated, but ready. We are going to be a movement that knows how to take what it is owed, not one that waits to be granted it. I believe that because of what I have seen here this week.”

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Board Chair, Isa Nico Borrelli (they/them): “The far right is growing throughout our regions. The world is dysphoric. Radical hope is not wishful thinking. It begins with seeing the world as it is and deciding that this cannot be the end of the story.”

101

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

These quotes capture the spirit of transphoria: strong, resilient, and demanding our rights while emphasising our collective trans joy. They also underline the importance of creating spaces and cross-movement allyship that positively impact trans people throughout Europe and Central Asia.

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

We welcome these commitments by the Council of Europe. The next step is to hold member states’ governments accountable and ensure the Strategy becomes action.

110

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

For trans people, the Strategy commits to: - Legal gender recognition that is quick, transparent and accessible, moving towards self-determination - Depathologised, rights-based trans healthcare - Long-term funding for LGBTI civil society and meaningful participation in decision-making

110

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

- Preventing and combating violence and hatred against LGBTI people - Strengthening legal and institutional protections for LGBTI people

110

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The Strategy focuses on four key areas: - Building recognition and inclusion of LGBTI people and countering stigma and intolerance - Countering disinformation about LGBTI people and protecting democracy, human rights and the rule of law

110

TGEU | Trans Europe and Central Asia @tgeuorg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

The Strategy comes 45 years after the European Court of Human Rights’ first judgment on LGBTI rights, at a time when organised opposition to LGBTI equality is growing. It gives the Council of Europe’s member states a shared framework for turning commitments into action.
