DIHR produced a new publication which aims to inspire and create new approaches to combating hate crimes – whether they take place in the West or developing countries.
The organizations behind the World Outgames, the international sporting event which took place in Copenhagen in the summer of 2009, urged the Institute to develop this publication, which is entitled The Copenhagen Catalogue of Good Practices.
The Catalogue consists of a collection of 24 cases from around the globe of good and inspiring measures for the protection of LGBT rights.
“LGBT-rights is an issue which lies at the heart of the Institute's work. The aim of the Copenhagen Catalogue is to highlight good practices in many varying contexts and across different social strata - and geographic regions. It is another way to recognize the universality of human rights,” commented the Director of DIHR, Dr Jonas Christoffersen.
The Catalogue was presented by the DIHR Director at an international human rights conference, arranged in conjunction with the World Outgames 2009 in Copenhagen, where the focus was on the rights of LGBT persons.
