The draft law submitted by the ruling party on Tuesday is nothing but an authoritarian attempt to hold on to their power. Its aim is to silence all critical voices and eliminate what remains of Hungarian democracy once and for all. The draft is an attack on remaining independent organisations more serious than ever: it is not only aimed at civil society organisations (CSOs) and the media, but also companies and individuals, and practically everyone who wants to live in a free and democratic country

The Fifteenth amendment to the "granite-solid" Fundamental Law has arrived, further oppressing transgender people in Hungary. If their daily lives weren't hard enough, with another amendment Fidesz politicians would remove protection from discrimination and harassment based on gender identity from the Equal Treatment Act.

We are looking for interview participants who were previously targeted by anti-LGBTIQ+ hate crimes or discrimination; for our project ENACT: Enhancing the capacity of civil society organizations to support victims of anti-LGBTQI hate crimes.

You can apply if you have experienced violence or discrimination based on your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, whether you reported the incident or not.

The project, which runs from March 2024 to February 2026, will be implemented with partners from Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Slovenia and Greece. The Legal Program of Háttér Society has been working since 2022 with the NGOs and academic institutions with which we are now embarking on a new two-year project.
