Queer right are human rights. Solidarity and allyship are essential.
December 10 is Human Rights Day. For queer communities, it’s impossible to separate human rights from our own struggle. Queer and trans rights are people’s rights, and those rights are increasingly being pushed back, questioned, or outright ignored.

If we look at countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, protections for queer and trans people are being rolled back and openly challenged. Even in Belgium, we see how access to sports, employment, and the housing market is still too often shaped by discrimination and exclusion.
And although, since 2019, the government has been legally required to recognize non-binary
gender identities, there is still no official recognition today.
That ongoing refusal is a direct undermining of human rights.
Around the world, many queer and trans people live under deeply precarious or entirely absent legal protections. All of this reminds us that discrimination anywhere is a threat everywhere,and that speaking up matters even when the struggle is not your own. Solidarity and allyship are essential.
Even in the face of this, our communities continue to resist. Long before mainstream Pride, queer and trans people organized, cared for one another, and built networks of protection and joy.
It is the small, local, often invisible groups that keep fighting for safety, dignity, housing, health care, and the simple right to exist. Their work shows that human rights ane lived realities, shaped every day by how we treat one another.
On this Human Rights Day, we honor that ongoing struggle. We reaffirm that queer and trans people everywhere deserve to live freely, openly, and without fear.
Our existence is not up for debate – just as the rights and dignity of every person, regardless of gender, age, disability, financial status, or residency status, are never up for debate.
None of us are free until all of us are free.

Queer March tries to be as accessible as possible. To All. Please join us.
December 3rd is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. For Queer March, this is more than just a date. It’s a vital moment to underscore the critical importance of intersectionality!

We recognize that the disability experience is incredibly diverse. On the one hand, there are visible disabilities: think of physical mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, or white canes.
On the other hand, there are also hidden disabilities. This includes chronic illnesses, neurodivergence, hearing loss, mental health conditions, or learning disabilities.
Every person with a – visible or invisible – disability deserves access, respect and inclusion in society. You matter, you are welcome.
Many queer people live with bodily or mental disabilities, which makes them twice as vulnerable to exclusion. A truly inclusive queer community is one where everyone can participate, regardless of their physical, mental, or sensory abilities.
Today, we invite you to turn awareness into action. There are many ways to dismantle oppression, but a few things you can start doing today are: amplify disabled voices, research and understand ableism, advocate for greater accessibility.
Even though the reality of organising events often means running into accessibility difficulties, Queer March tries to be as accessible as possible. Please contact us with questions or feedback. We are always here to listen and help where possible.
Let’s work together to build a world where we create bridges, not barriers.
