### The theme of Tokyo Pride 2026 is "A Future Opened by Diversity and Equality"
Starting from human rights issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community, this conference will discuss various structures of inequality rooted in society, such as participation in sports, SRHR (Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights), and xenophobia.
Welcoming diverse speakers including the parties involved, university professors, legal experts, and activists, we will understand the connections between seemingly individual issues and think together about the actions we can take towards realizing a society where everyone can live "authentically, joyfully, and proudly."

### Background of the Event
Throughout Pride Month in June, Tokyo Pride develops multiple programs including pride parades, festivals, art, and youth, aiming to improve LGBTQ+ rights.
Among them, the Human Rights Conference specifically focuses on the theme of "human rights" and is a program aimed at gathering participants from diverse positions, including the parties involved, experts, and activists, to learn and think together about the structural issues of society.
Based on the 2026 theme "A Future Opened by Diversity and Equality," this conference will not only raise "equality" as a philosophy but also capture it as an issue of rights related to the state of systems and society, and discuss towards its realization.
LGBTQ+ human rights issues do not exist in isolation, but are closely related to various inequalities existing in society, such as opportunities to participate in sports, bodily self-determination, and social exclusion.
In this conference, while intertwining expert knowledge and the perspectives of the parties involved, we will deepen understanding through dialogue rather than division, and consider a more inclusive way for society.
