BELGIUM - In the run-up to the Belgian and European elections of 26 May, Sensoa, EPF Belgian APPG and Flemish center of expertise on sexual health, çavaria, the Flemish LGBT+ umbrella organisation and the Flemish Women's Council developed a unique vote advice application.
Destemwijzer.be deals with gender equality, sexual health and rights and LGBT+ issues. By answering 26 questions, voters discover which party meets their opinion on these themes.
The day after the launch, 50,000 voters had already completed the test, corresponding with 1% of the electorate in Flanders. The test sparked a public debate on the position of the N-VA, the Flemish nationalist party and biggest party in the federal parliament on their positions on gender equality and equal opportunities for sexual minorities.
