The Council of Europe's 7th Conference of Ministers responsible for Equality between Women and Men which took place on 24-25 May 2010, has recognized the need to combat discrimination against women and girls and transgender persons on account of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

The Conference Resolution, entitled "Bridging the gap between de jure and de facto equality to achieve real gender equality", refers to the multiple-discrimination which they face, and the taking of "all necessary measures to ensure their full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms." (paragraph 30)
