Situation of LGBTQ in Ukraine January – June 2023

In the first half of 2023, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine continued to pass laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in accordance with EU legislation. Currently, the most problematic and urgent issue in this area is the introduction of registered civil partnership in Ukraine, available to same-sex couples: Inna Sovsun MP submitted her Bill 9103 to the VRU for consideration, and the Ministry of Justice is to submit a similar document in December this year. On June 1, the ECtHR ruled that lacking any form of legal recognition of same-sex couples in Ukraine is a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.
