OUR ATTITUDE TO DISCRIMINATION

Since its founding, DDP has declared its intolerance to any manifestations of discrimination and systematically fights against them. Any person, anywhere in the world, who has experienced discrimination, is guaranteed to receive help and protection from DDP and its partners.
Due to the severity and relevance of this problem, DDP encourages any efforts aimed at popularizing the protection of human rights and freedoms, highlighting the problem of discrimination, publicizing egregious cases and compiling appropriate ratings.
Thus, every year the European branch of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) publishes a rating of European countries in terms of the level of protection of the rights of gays and lesbians. The ranking, called Rainbow Europe, assesses how often the rights of LGBT people are violated in a selected country. In this ranking, countries can score from 0% (gross human rights violations and discrimination) to 100% (respect for human rights,undefined fully equal rights for minorities in society). Each assessment is based on a variety of indicators, including such aspects as: legal recognition of gay marriage in the country, public attitudes towards LGBT people, freedom of expression, openness of gay couple relations, the influence of religious communities on non-traditional unions, the possibility of obtaining political asylum for representatives gay, etc.
The list includes 49 European countries. At the top are the states in which the rights of sexual minorities are most respected, below are the countries with the worst attitudes towards gays and lesbians. Statistics show that the most economically developed countries are more likely to respect LGBT rights, while countries with a lower level of development are the most unfavorable for the community.
