The development of the LGBTI+ National Youth Strategy (the Strategy) is a key commitment for the Department of Children and Youth Affairs (DCYA) as part of the 2016 Programme for Partnership Government. The Strategy seeks to ensure a cross-governmental approach to put additional measures in place to further enhance the lives of LGBTI+ young people, and address some of the key challenges they may face as part of their day-to-day lives. It is envisaged that this Strategy will make a significant contribution towards the Government’s broader commitments to continue to strive for the full inclusion of LGBTI+ people in Irish society and to build a more inclusive Ireland for LGBTI+ young people.
