Nationally, the COC has signed agreements with 119 municipalities. These agreements aim to make life safer and better for LGBTQ+ people. The COC's regional branches negotiated directly with local governments.

In the accords, municipalities pledge better monitoring of discrimination and violence. They also want to protect gay and transgender people at work and school. The agreements include recognising same-sex relationships and adoption. Municipalities say they will provide education in schools and businesses.

The COC sees this as a major step forward. The organisation says these accords show municipalities are taking seriously how unsafe many LGBTQ+ people feel. Many still don't report attacks or threats to police due to fear or shame.

The accords are not legally binding, but they give municipalities clear targets. The COC will monitor whether municipalities keep their promises in coming years. If problems arise, the COC can return to the negotiating table.
