SUMMARY:Expressions of Queer Solidarity in the Balkans
DESCRIPTION:Expressions of Queer Solidarity in the Balkans\nPanel discussion\n________________\nEvent will be held in English. \nThe LGBTIQ+ movements in the Balkans share common experiences of violence\, marginalization and populist attacks. But we also developed numerous survival strategies\, resilience and support measures for the LGBTIQ+ communities and for the activists in the forefront of the human rights battles. We will explore the ways of international solidarity within the LGBTIQ+ movements\, regionally and wider. We will discuss the impact and relevance of strengthening the cooperation and solidarity within the region. \nGuests: \n\nDina Bajrektarević\, executive director of  Tuzla Open Center and a member of the BH organizing committee for Pride March;\nDoria Jukić\, activist\, Croatia;\nBiljana Ginova\, LGBTIQ+ human rights defender\, North Macedonia;\n\nModeration: Mateja Morić\, Ljubljana Pride Association. \nDina Bajrektarević is a long-time activist for the rights of LGBTI persons and the rights of persons with handicap.
