“Love is not a crime” campaign
With this campaign, ECPM denounces sexual discrimination and urges countries that sentence people to death on the grounds of sexual orientation to decriminalise it. ECPM also denounces countries with openly homophobic legislation. Since 2005, ECPM has joined the Paris Pride March in support of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Due to a blurry political landscape in France with a rise of extreme rightwing, LGBTQIA+ rights tend to be threatened. At an international scape, the Anti-Homosexuality Act was voted in 2023 in Uganda, meaning that the number of states condemning LGBTQIA+ people with the death penalty is now up to 12.

This 2024 Pride was an opportunity for volunteers, members of the Associative Committee and staff of ECPM to gather for human rights advocacy. The parade allowed them to reach out and raise awareness amongst the public on the death penalty for LGBTQIA+ people.
