Rainbow Forum
Dear LGBT+ community and parents, activists and allies,
In 2025 we organized the 10th anniversary Rainbow Forum, which has already become one of the symbols of the Armenian LGBT+ movement. Over the years, the Forum has been a platform where we have come together to reflect on current issues and challenges. We have shared our concerns and achievements, simply connected and familiarized ourselves with each other and with the important work and contributions we’ve made.
In these difficult times, when concerning changes are taking place both globally and locally, it is crucial to have a space where we can address the existence of the movement, our disappointments and opportunities, our strengths and vulnerabilities.
The Rainbow Forum is an important annual event in Armenia and the largest queer activist gathering that brings together the LGBT+ community and allies, activists and human rights defenders, professionals and parents.
The Rainbow Forum creates a safe and inclusive space where you can meet diverse people, exchange knowledge, and find new friends and allies. The forum includes discussions, workshops, and presentations on topics such as human rights, mental health, activism, social and cultural issues, and more.
It is a platform where participants can raise issues that matter to them, be heard, and take part in discussions about meaningful change for the LGBT+ community in Armenia. The forum offers an opportunity to hear from and learn from experienced activists, human rights defenders, and allies who have already contributed to advancing equality and justice.
Join us in continuing to build a strong, united, and equitable Armenia.
