PROUD - Platforma pro rovnoprávnost, uznání a diverzitu
PROUD – Platform for equality, recognition and diversity
The fundamental basis of all PROUD’s activities is the belief that people are free and equal, in both dignity and rights, without any differences. The association’s vision is of a Czech society in which sexual orientation and identity are not crucial factors in determining the quality of human life.

FOR better education
We are FOR an open atmosphere in educational institutions, where homophobic and transphobic bullying or animosity (both symbolic and physical) will be unacceptable. We will support the presence of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual topics on all levels and in all areas of education.
FOR adoption and parenting
We are FOR legalising second parent adoption and FOR legalising both individual and joint adoption by same-sex couples in civil partnership.
FOR happy childhood and growing up
We are FOR unproblematic coming-out (in the family and in a broader environment).
FOR a balanced and diverse media image
We are FOR supporting the voice of the LGBT (lesbian, gay,bisexual and transgender) community and creating its non-stereotyped image.
AGAINST violence
We are AGAINST any kind of violence (both physical and psychological) that has its roots in homophobia and transphobia.
FOR quality of life in old age
We want to stop ignoring the fact that a lot of LGBT senior citizens living in our society face difficulties in everyday life caused by their rejection by their neighbourhood. This group is almost invisible.
FOR marriage
We are FOR emancipation of the civil partnership and reaching the legislative status when same-sex couples will be able to enter into civil marriage equal to the marriage of heterosexual couples. We are FOR acknowledging the same-sex partnership as a full family relationship.
FOR a friendly working environment
We are FOR securing protection against discrimination in the workplace: i.e. inclusion of the ban on discrimination based on gender identity into the anti-discrimination legislature, better enforceability of the rights for LGBT people, support and enforcement of so-called soft measures in companies and at offices – education, affirmation action etc.
