From connecting with activists to opening dialogues across the Baltic horizon, our journey was marked by impactful meetings and lesbian community. We’re excited to welcome new allies, friends and new members into the EL*C network.
In Tallinn, EL*C connected with the Eesti LGBT Ühing / Estonian LGBT Association and Q-Space: lesbian-led NGOs advancing human rights and building community in Estonia.

EL*C also had the opportunity to meet and open dialogue with the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communication. We travelled to Tartu in Estonia and met the queer community at the lesbian-led Behemoth Center.

EL*C met with the human rights division of the Ministry of Affairs and Ombudsman Office representative. We got the opportunity to spend time learning about the activist community in Latvia from the lesbian-led NGOs Association of LGBT and their friends Mozaika and Active Rainbow.
