Benidorm Becomes the First City Recognized as an LGTBIQ+phobia-Free Space

Benidorm has officially become the first city in the Valencian Community to receive the new designation as an LGTBIQ+phobia-Free Space.

This recognition, introduced by the Generalitat Valenciana, highlights cities, organizations, and businesses that ensure safe and discrimination-free environments for all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

For decades, Benidorm has been known as an inclusive and welcoming destination. The city has long been a safe space for the LGTBIQ+ community, fostering an open and diverse environment. Events such as Benidorm Pride and Benidorm Fest further cement its status as a leading destination for freedom and respect.

What Is the LGTBIQ+phobia-Free Spaces Protocol?

This protocol is an innovative initiative that certifies spaces committed to inclusion and safety for the LGTBIQ+ community. Its goal is to prevent and report any form of discrimination while promoting awareness and training initiatives.

Additionally, the protocol supports the creation of safe spaces where everyone can express themselves freely without fear of rejection or violence. Businesses, organizations, and institutions can join this initiative by formally committing to diversity and equality.

With this recognition, Benidorm reinforces its commitment to coexistence, respect, and diversity, inviting residents and visitors to enjoy a city that proudly celebrates freedom.
