Signatories are able to select all 15 goals or, if they wish, select the specific goals they wish to endorse. Leaders from the worlds of national and international politics, human rights, civil society, NGOs and the media are among those who signed the Øresund Declaration. The declaration was presented at the opening of the Human Rights Conference during the event, and all signatories sign for themselves and their organization, and by their signature they expressed an obligation to advance the ambitions stated in the Declaration in the course of their work. It was ambitious, and deliberately so, because until we can say to every LGBTI+ person that #YouAreIncluded, the global community is failing to protect the most vulnerable.
The Øresund Declaration – named after the sound and bridge that connects Denmark and Sweden – is our manifesto of demands for global LGBTI+ equality by 2030.
