Pride week without Pride Parade
In the week of September 14-20 2020, the Belgrade Pride Week was held, this year “in four walls”. The traditional walk through the streets of Belgrade was canceled due to the corona virus pandemic, and most of the events during the Pride Week were held online, on the internet platforms of the Belgrade Pride organization.

U nedelji 14 – 20. septembra 2020. godine održana je beogradska nedelja ponosa, ove godine „u četiri zida“. Tradicionalna šetnja beogradskim ulicama izostala je usled pandemije korona virusa, a većina događaja u nedelji ponosa održana je online, na internet platformama organizacije Belgrade Pride.

Discrimination at work in Serbia
38% of LGBTI people have experienced discrimination at work in the last five years, and in almost half of the cases (46%) it is psychological violence, according to the research “Dignity at Work” published by IDEAS. Threats of dismissal were experienced by 19% of respondents who encountered discrimination at work, and physical violence by 18%. These data reflect the still underdeveloped climate of acceptance of LGBTI people in the labor market in Serbia.

38% LGBTI osoba doživelo je diskriminaciju na radu u poslednjih pet godina, a u gotovo polovini slučajeva (46%) u pitanju je psihološko nasilje, podaci su istraživanja „Dostojanstvo na radu“ koje je objavio IDEAS. Pretnje otkazom doživelo je 19% ispitanika koji su se susreli sa diskriminacijom na radu, a fizičko nasilje 18%. Ovi podaci oslikavaju još uvek nedovoljno razvijenu prihvatajuću klimu za LGBTI osobe na tržištu rada u Srbiji.

LGBTI and education in Serbia
More than half of LGBTI high school students have experienced some form of violence related to sexual orientation or gender identity, and as many as 54.3% of students have experienced violence in the last year – according to research conducted by IDEAS. Violence can be very common, and it is especially alarming that every tenth student who has experienced violence related to sexual orientation or gender identity is exposed to violence almost every day.

Više od polovine LGBTI srednjoškolaca doživelo je neku vrstu nasilja koja je pozvezana sa seksualnom orijentacijom ili rodnim identitetom, a čak 54,3% učenika nasilje je doživelo u poslednjih godinu dana – podaci su istraživanja koje je sproveo IDEAS. Nasilje može biti vrlo učestalo, a posebno je alarmantan podatak da je svaki deseti učenik koji je doživeo nasilje zato što je LGBTI nasilju izložen gotovo svakodnevno.

​Network: LGBTI friendly companies in Serbia
In order to respond to the worrying level of discrimination in the field of labor and employment in Serbia, the IDEAS Research and Development Center and the Regional Info Center are implementing a project to support companies to develop measures to include LGBT + workers and implement an anti-discrimination legislative framework. Also, the formation of a network of companies has begun, as a platform within which employers and company representatives can exchange practices of inclusion of LGBT+ employees and their positioning in this market.

Kako bi se reagovalo na zabrinjavajući stepen diskriminacije u oblasti rada i zapošljavanja u Srbiji, Centar za istraživanje i razvoj društva IDEAS i Regionalni info centar realizuju projekat podrške kompanijama za razvoj mera inkluzije LGBT+ radnika i radnica i primenu antidiskriminatornog zakonodavnog okvira. Takođe, započeto je formiranje mreže kompanija, kao platforme u okviru koje poslodavci i predstavnici kompanija mogu da razmenjuju prakse inkluzije LGBT+ zaposlenih i pozicioniranja na ovom tržištu.

​Shameful verdict: No hate speech against LGBT population
We are extremely concerned for the shameful verdict of the High Court of Cassation that states that in the text of the Dean of the Faculty of Law in Novi Sad, Prof. Dr. Branislav Ristivojević, was no hate speech or discrimination against women and members of the LGBT population.

Izuzetno smo zabrinuti zbog sramotne presude Visokog kasacionog suda da u tekstu dekana Pravnog fakulteta u Novom Sadu prof. dr Branislava Ristivojevića nije bilo govora mržnje niti diskriminacije prema ženama i pripadnicima LGBT populacije.
