Fight like a Lesbian: activism against war, oppression and discrimination

On Lesbian Visibility Day 2022, come the European Parliament for an event hosted by MEP Malin Bjork and featuring the lesbian activists at the centre of today’s most urgent fights for solidarity and equality in the EU.

Lesbian activists are working to welcome refugees from Ukraine and beyond, dealing with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, and facing the backlash from the far-right movement in Eastern Europe. They are not only part of the women and LGBTI rights movement but are powerful voices of anti-racism movements, fight against anti-Roma backlash and work to empower older people, migrants, and refugees. For Lesbian Visibility Week, we want to make sure that lesbians stay on the agenda and that their contribution to equality and solidarity everywhere is made visible.
