Baltic Pride 2025 Human Rights Event
The biggest human rights event in the Baltics, Baltic Pride, returns to Riga this year from June 6 to 15 with the march "Until We Are All Equal" on June 15. Let's make Riga blossom as an inclusive and brave Baltic city, inviting society to be even more accepting of everyone's diversity!

This year, Baltic Pride invites everyone's heart to bloom and see the magic of diversity in those around us. Much like flowers, we are each different in our essence, and together we unite in beauty - a diverse meadow full of flowers. We stand up for the rights of lgbtq+Q people, but at the same time, we recognize that lgbtq+Q rights are part of the totality of human rights.

Many activities and events dedicated to human rights will occur as part of Baltic Pride 2025 - varied and educational discussions, workshops, cinema screenings, concerts, performances, a march for equality and others. Baltic Pride 2025 will be a place for everyone - diversity, human rights, inclusion, and justice. We shall celebrate together and stand up for everyone because equal rights are the basis for a more inclusive and just society!

Baltic Pride is an annual event celebrating the lgbtq+Q+ community in the Baltic States, specifically Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It began in 2009 and has since grown into a significant regional event. The main purpose of Baltic Pride is to promote equal rights, acceptance, and understanding of the lgbtq+Q+ community in these countries, where the social and political climate has historically been challenging for lgbtq+Q+ individuals.  The event features a variety of activities, including a pride parade, film screenings, workshops, discussions, and parties.
Each year, Baltic Pride is organized by one of the three Baltic lgbtq+Q+ non-governmental organizations: the Lithuanian Gay League (LGL), the Latvian Association of lgbtq+ and their Friends MOZAIKA, and the Estonian lgbtq+ Association (Eesti lgbtq+ Ühing). These organizations rotate hosting responsibilities between their respective capital cities, Vilnius (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia), and Tallinn (Estonia).
Key achievements of Baltic Pride include raising awareness of lgbtq+Q+ issues in the region, fostering a sense of community and belonging, and providing a safe space for lgbtq+Q+ individuals and allies to gather and celebrate diversity. Additionally, the event has contributed to gradual societal change and legal advancements for lgbtq+Q+ rights in the Baltic States. For example, Estonia became the first Baltic country to recognize same-sex partnerships in 2016, and other legal developments have folowed in the region.
