SOS homophobie is a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation committed to combatting hate-motivated violence and discrimination against LGBT people. Founded in April 1994, SOS homophobie currently has over 1300 members, represented by an elected board of 21 members, in 18 branches throughout France. 400 of these members are active volunteers involved in the running of the organisation. Our head office is based in Paris. Membership fees and donations are our major sources of funding, along with occasional financing of projects from local municipalities and the government.
