It is a priority for all institutions, at all levels, to combat all forms of discrimination, violence and intolerance and to invest in prevention and victim support. It is also our duty to keep the international community focused on the persecution and abuse still being perpetrated in many nations around the world on the basis of sexual orientation, as the President of the Republic also recalled today.
