The LGBTI community in Hungary is going through a difficult time. A new law was introduced in June this year. The amendments within the law require that all media content that „propagates homosexuality or portrays it“ shall not be shown to children under the age of 18, and commercials that show „diversion from one’s biological sex, change of gender, propagates or portrays homosexuality“ shall not be made accessible to children.

We discuss the new developments with Amnesty International Hungary Director Dávid Vig and Programme Director Áron Demeter.

This episode was not produced by us (Amnesty International Hochschulgruppe HU&Charité Berlin) but Europe from a group of Amnesty International volunteers from across Europe. You can find more interesting episodes in their podcast: “Human Rights in Europe”.
