This mid-term review presents an analysis of the situation across five Eastern European countries based on the documented human rights violation cases towards LGBT+ people. The countries covered within the current report are Armenia, Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia (in total 80 documented cases), as well as it reflects on the cases occurred in Russia (84 documented cases), as a state constantly politicizing LGBT+ issues and affecting the LGBT+ human rights movements in the region. The data was collected by the Eastern European Coalition for LGBT+ Equality’s member organizations and partners. The analysis is based on the human rights violation incidents documented in January-July 2026.
The Coalition’s member organizations based in Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine monitored the situation in the region and documented cases of human rights violations against LGBT+ people that were reported directly by the victims or obtained from other sources. Partners contributed to obtaining the data that occurred in Russia.
