Infographic on Access to Justice for LGBTIQ+ People in Montenegro

Topic - Access to Justice
Country - Montenegro
Resource Type - Factsheet / Leaflet / Theme Publication
Language - MONTENEGRIN

ERA, with the support of the World Bank, has designed a rights awareness campaign for LGBTIQ+ people in the Western Balkans region, focusing particularly on Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. The main goals of this campaign are to: 

  • Help LGBTIQ+ people increase knowledge and awareness about their rights; 
  • Encourage LGBTIQ+ people to use existing reporting mechanisms to report cases of discrimination and violence;
  • Build confidence for the community in the justice sector by highlighting positive examples and efforts; 
  • Provide LGBTIQ+ people with easily accessible resources relative to access to justice in Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia. 

More specifically, we have created in the local languages of the respective countries infographics and animation videos as well as conducted interviews with representatives of the LGBTIQ+ community and state institutions, with whom we discussed existing barriers that make it difficult for LGBTIQ+ people to access justice, while also highlight some existing mechanisms, institutions, and procedures that LGBTIQ+ people can access in the respective countries.
