Aleanca LGBT Albania

Aleanca Against Discrimination of LGBT People in Albania — known simply as Aleanca — is the country's leading LGBTQ+ rights organization and the institutional engine behind Tirana Pride. Founded in 2009, Aleanca has achieved tangible legal results including contributions to Albania's anti-discrimination legislation and engagement with EU accession monitoring mechanisms. The organization provides community support, psychological counseling, and legal assistance to LGBTQ+ Albanians while maintaining an active public advocacy presence. Aleanca's offices serve as a community safe space and a resource for both local LGBTQ+ people and international visitors seeking orientation within the city's scene. Following Aleanca on social media before your visit is the best way to stay current with events, safe venue recommendations, and any relevant safety advisories.
