The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on Pride organizations worldwide with hundreds of marches and events cancelled or postponed. Global Pride provides an opportunity for the LGBTQIA+ community around the world to come together and celebrate diversity and equality during these challenging times.

Global Pride 2020 was launched on 1 April as a partnership between InterPride,
the European Pride Organisers Association, and national Pride networks in several countries.
It’s being led by a team of volunteers from every region of the world who are all committed to ensuring that everyone, everywhere, can take part in Pride this June 2020.

We will have speeches, performances, film and other content from Prides in Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania, and South, Central and North America. A worldwide team of more than
100 volunteers are reaching out to Prides around the world and we're promising an amazing line-up of performances that you'd expect from a Pride event.

You can watch Global Pride 2020, wherever you are in the world. All you'll need is
a mobile phone, tablet or computer.
