COC marks milestone: time to lead again
The COC celebrates a milestone and sets ambitious future goals. The organisation wants to position the Netherlands at the forefront of the equality movement.
The COC marks a milestone with clear purpose. The organisation openly states what it aims to achieve in coming years.
For LGBTQ+ people in the Netherlands, the COC has driven important progress for decades. From legalising marriage to equal inheritance rights: much achieved, much won.
But complacency is not an option. The COC notes that the Netherlands once led globally on several fronts. They want to reclaim that leadership position. Particularly on equal rights and social acceptance.
"Let us not step backwards from what we have achieved," is essentially their message. The milestone is not merely a celebration. It is a moment to move forward with clear objectives.
The organisation remains focused on visibility and safety for LGBTQ+ people. Both in the Netherlands and internationally, they state.
