Discourse & chill with Anna and Vira - UPDATE!

UPDATE! Due to COVID19-restrictions Anna and Vira will be unable to travel to Belgium. The organising partners have decided to keep up the event to exchange and discuss LGBTI+ -activism. We woul also like to show our solidarity with Anna and Vira from a distance.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come and discuss lgbt+ activism tactics with Anna and Vira from Sphere ngo.

Sphere is an LGBTI and women’s rights organisation in Ukraine. Founded in 2006 by activists Anna and Vira, it is one of the oldest organisations of its kind in the country, providing a safe space for women and LGBTI people in Kharkiv (Ukraine’s second largest city).

The number of hate crimes in Ukraine is on the rise – an issue that the government is failing to tackle. As more and more anti-LGBTI groups have sprung up across the country, Sphere has been the target of dozens of discriminatory attacks.

Anna and Vira will talk about their own experiences, but are also very interested in hearing what you have to say.

WHEN? 25 November
WHERE? PANGAEA (Vesaliusstraat 34, 3000 Leuven)

This event is free. Please bring a covid-safe ticket and ID.
