You can access the memo <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hrmi.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/guidelines-for-journalists-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the training, human rights experts, people interested in communication and human rights, members of the LGBTQ+ community, media representatives discussed the role of society and respectful communication in reducing hate and how to write and speak respectfully about LGBTQ+ people and other groups that experience a lot of hatred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the organisers of the training, the majority of LGBTQ+ people in Lithuania are afraid to disclose their identity, so for a large number of people the media is the only source of information about LGBTQ+ people. &#8220;A survey conducted by the European Union&#8217;s Fundamental Rights Council in 2020 reveals that LGBTQ+ people in Lithuania are the least likely to come out in the EU. LGBTQ+ people in Lithuania face a lot of hatred, and most people do not feel safe enough to come out in our society,&#8221; says Ajus Jurgaitis, Project Manager at the Human Rights Monitoring Institute.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In such a context, it is crucial that media representatives would be able to speak respectfully about LGBTQ+ people, their stories and any other related issues, thus contributing to the reduction of hatred in society,&#8221; says Ieva Laugalyte, a member of the transgender rights and self-help association Trans Autonomija and LGBTQ+ rights activist, on explaining the importance of the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The training was organised within the framework of the project &#8220;Sustainable Support for Human Rights through Advocacy and Education&#8221; supported by the Active Citizens Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/hrmi.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Active-citizens-fund@4x-1-1024x359.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14033\" width=\"258\" height=\"89\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hrmi.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Active-citizens-fund@4x-1-1024x359.png 1024w, https:\/\/hrmi.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Active-citizens-fund@4x-1-300x105.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In March and April, the Human Rights Monitoring Institute invited media representatives to trainings in Vilnius, Kaunas and Klaip\u0117da on the topics of reducing hatred against the LGBTQ+ community and respectful communication.
