Lambda Warszawa has been active in supporting and creating a space necessary to create a positive identity of the LGBTQI+ community in Poland since 1997. Our mission is to offer independent, professional and expert support in crisis.

Who are we?

As an organization we support persons who have been going through hardships or have experienced violence and discrimination due to their sexual or gender identity.

What do we do?

Lambda Warszawa runs wide-scale assistance activities, supporting persons who have been going through hardships due to their sexual orientation and gender identity as well as those experiencing violence and discrimination on this basis and who need professional support.

We also carry out activities aiming at supporting organizations, public institutions and companies to implement equality policies, we perform antidiscrimination trainings and workshops, and we also take part in LGBTQI+ community events.
