FORUM 2025

Filipino Pride Forum 2025

Following the successful inaugural Filipino-European LGBTQIA+ Advocates Forum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 2023, and its second Forum held in Vienna, Austria in 2024, Filipino LGBT Europe is proud to announce that this year’s forum is set to take place in Madrid, Spain.

On its third year, the meeting of Filipino-European LGBTQIA+ Advocates in Europe Forum will now be called the Filipino Pride Forum

The forum aims to provide a safe and collaborative platform for Filipino persons in Europe to connect, share, and learn from each other. We hope that the Forum will inspire and empower participants to contribute in making positive changes in society.

During the Forum, attendees will have the opportunity to connect with other migrant communities who may have experienced similar challenges and discriminations of being migrant in Europe. It will be the ideal platform for the community to engage as well as to create a formal network of support.

“We will be in the streets of Madrid once again to call for the passage of the SOGIE EQUALITY BILL in the Philippines. This bill is very important as it will guarantee that ALL Filipinos will have equal access to education, health care, government and commercial services and protection at work.” Chris Sta Brigida-Kopp chair of the Filipino LGBT Europe said.

Mado Madrid Orgullo is one of the biggest and most popular pride events attracting ten of thousands participants from around the world. It has become, on its own, the biggest urban event in Europe. It has grown from small Pride demonstrations in the 1980s to the massive celebration of today, without ever forgetting its purpose of advancing the rights the LGBTIQ people.

There are around one million Filipinos living in Europe, a quarter of which are residing in Spain.
