Policy\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2017, Roeselare signed a rainbow charter with a commitment to implement a comprehensive local LGBTQIA+-policy. In recent years, Roeselare mainly focused on awareness-raising actions, mainly in the context of IDAHOT.<\/p>\n
In 2021, the city called on all community members, their friends and family to join the rainbow network. This network is supported by various welfare partners and professionals and aims to draft, further de-velop and provide feedback on the Rainbow Action Plan.<\/p>\n
This Rainbow Action Plan is a multi-year plan through which we identify the greatest needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. In 2022, the focus is on safe spaces and accessible meeting points. The rain-bow caf\u00e9 took shape and is organised monthly.<\/p>\n
In 2023, we focus on safety. An action plan will be developed in cooperation with the police and inte-grated within the action plan \u201cSamenleven\u201d of Belgian minister Bart Somers. In light of this we will carry out actions around street harassment and organize bystander trainings.<\/p>\n
In 2024, we will work closely with schools and aim for a broader LGBTQIA+ acceptance within educa-tion. To capture the needs and requirements of students, teachers and schools, we have organised information moments and dialogue tables.<\/p>\n
Goal<\/strong><\/p>\nThe aim of our LGBTQIA+ policy is to ensure that all members of the community feel welcomed and understood in the City of Roeselare and by local authorities.<\/p>\n
