The LGBT+ community is a full member of society today with the same rights as others. To celebrate this day, Estonia's embassies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and many accredited foreign representations will fly the rainbow flag.
Estonia considers it important to advance various human rights issues with like-minded countries. Since 2016, we have been a member of the equal rights coalition comprising 42 countries, aimed at ensuring the human rights of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, so they can enjoy safe lives without violence.
Estonia’s foreign policy is increasingly featuring human rights issues and the first human rights diplomacy action plan adopted by the government in 2021 has contributed to this. The action plan underlines that human rights apply equally to everyone and no one should be discriminated based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
