In the framework of the 2012 European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, AGE Platform Europe (AGE ) and ILGA-Europe have decided to focus on the situation of older LGBTI people in Europe. In a joint policy paper, which has been launched today, at a conference in Paris the two NGOs suggest best practices and policy recommendations to help older LGBTI people going through those life stage transitions. The European Court of Human Rights issued yesterday a judgment in H v Finland (Appl. no. 37359/09). The case concerned a trans woman who was refused to legally change her gender since she did not want to divorce her wife and enter a registered partnership instead.
