Lesbian Organisation Rijeka - LORI is a Croatian non-govermental organization founded in 2000. as the first registered lesbian organization in the country.[1] Their main purpose is protecting the rights of LGBTIQ+ people and fighting against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia, as well as any and all forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Through their programs they mostly advocate and promote social justice, equality and solidarity.[2]
Being active in this field for over twenty years, they've led many projects with the long-term goal to improve the quality of life for all LGBTQI+ people in Croatia and ensure their protection as well as improve their position in the social, legal and cultural context. They are a memeber of ILGA, IGLYO, Women's Network Croatia and GOOD Initiative.
History
[edit]Officially registered in 2000., LORI launched the first national campaign to promote LGBTQ+ rights in 2002. called "Love is Love" with the goal to increase visibility of LBTQ+ persons, fight prejudice and jumpstart societal change in this particular area of human rights.[3] HRT (Croatian Radiotelevision), the national broadcasting service, banned the video from appearing on screens.[4] Many other projects followed, such as "A Different Society is Possible: United for LGBT Equality" (2013.) which produced the Yogyakarta Principles Manual - International Legal Norms for Protection of the Human Rights of LGBTQ People[5] and "Respect Human Rights - Build Inclusive Society" (2015.-2017.) for the protection of LGBTQ+ rights.[6]
LORI is also the first LGBTQ+ group that started working directly with schools and school officials to educate both the students and the staff on topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity in order to combat homophobia/biphobia/transphobia and prevent violence and bullying that stems from it. This program has been active since 2012. and also resulted in a published anti-bullying handbook for teachers and counselors.[7]
