Spain’s Ministry of Equality is launching a “rainbow phone” line to provide advice for and prevent discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.
It will incorporate legal assistance with general information on LGBTQ+ rights, as well as psychological support where possible.
The department, which is led by Minister Irene Montero, is intending for the number to be 028 – though this is not yet confirmed, El Diario reported.
The number is symbolic because International Pride Day typically takes place on 28 June each year. “It will be provided in collaboration with the autonomous communities and referring to the services available in them,” a source told the outlet.
