SOMETIMES WE TWERK, SOMETIMES WE DON’T.
Dancing is politics.
Find here the January 2019 Newsletter
Dancing is good for the skin and the body, good for wrinkles and muscles, good to wiggle our love wrists or our chocolate perctoral. Dancing is healthy for the mind, body and soul. Dancing is politics.
And while there are many many ways to dance, there is only one rule that we should be able to genuinely submit to: choose with whom and when we want to dance. Because sometimes we twerk and sometimes we don’t, according to our urgencies, our fights, our needs, our desires. May 2019’s first EL*C newsletter offer you gold nuggets from here and elsewhere so that the memory of this past year and the perfume of the one to come can reinforce us in the certainty that our dyke’s planet is bubbling and that it will not be done without you.
In 2019 we wish to be with you, all of you, all of us together, if you grant us a dance…
We received many workshop proposals and we know how impatient you are to know what will be served to you during the 2019 edition of the European Lesbian* conference in Kyiv.
We are working on it !
One date to keep in mind

Lesbian* women across the Council of Europe Member States are still facing high level of hate speech and hate crimes, even in the so-called “developed countries”.
On 31st of March 2010, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (CMCE) adopted the Recommendation CM/Rec (2010)5 to member states “on measures to combat discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity”. This Recommendation is a document of crucial significance for lesbian* women. As the world’s first international legal instrument dealing specifically with discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, the Recommendation recognized the centuries-old discrimination and emphasized the universality of the human rights, and pointed out that specific actions are required by the states to ensure the full enjoyment of human rights by LGBT people.
This report, prepared by The European Lesbian* Conference (EL*C), collective of lesbian women from Europe and Central Asia, aims to provide information on the level of implementation of the Recommendation CM/Rec (2010)5 in regard to discrimination experienced by lesbian* women in Council of Europe Member States. It has been submitted to the second review of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe end of November 2018.
