    The organisation seems to be part of a network of socially conservative organisations committed to fighting against abortion, euthanasia and gay rights. European Dignity Watch advocates "life, the family and fundamental freedoms." The organisation accuses the European Parliament of pressuring member states into legalising same-sex marriage, and the European Commission of bias for hosting a pro-gay photo exhibition.
