Legal Counselling
Through its Legal Counselling service, the Prague Pride association offers support to people confronted with problems directly connected to LGBT+ matters. The counselling service is free of charge.
Types of help
The legal counselling service is dedicated to people who are discriminated against because they are LGBT+. It helps them find out how to protect themselves if they feel discriminated against.
It also provides help in questions specifically tied to the lives of LGBT+ people, for instance concerning the establishment, the continuation or the dissolution of rainbow families or registered partnerships, or the recognition in the Czech Republic of adoptions, marriages or registered partnerships concluded abroad.
Due to limited resources, legal counselling can only provide services linked to the above-mentioned topics. For other questions, please seek advice from other services:
Asylum rights – contact Organization for Aid to Refugees, organization Inbaze, or Association for integration and migration
Protection of victims of hate crimes – contact In Iustitia
HIV/AIDS – contact The Czech AIDS Help Society
Who works for the legal counselling service
Legal advice is provided by trained legal advisers, mainly lawyers. The information you might be asked to provide during service will not be used elsewhere without your consent. The right to be silent is legally granted, however, only to lawyers. Non-judicial people involved in counselling cannot refuse to testify.
Reactions to your question may take several days. Normally, we try to get back at you in up to 72 hours, if not with a complete answer, at least tell you when that answer could come. If your case is urgent, we suggest contacting a lawyer directly.
