Thirty-first of March marks International Transgender Day of Visibility. For that reason the Pride Connects events in March will be dedicated to exploration of the visibility of trans people. We will host a trans speaker to discuss visibility, we will touch upon the history of the trans community, we will look at the events that have and will happen on 31st of March and offer you a relaxed environment and open space to create something yourself for TDOV. We invite you to join us, regardless of your gender identity, to co-create, learn and get active!

For an introduction to the topic on March 10th, we will be visited by Aoi Osenjak, who is visible in Slovenian mainstream because of his position in the Pirates party. He will share his experience and perspective on our month’s topic: What does greater visibility bring to trans people who are one way or another under the spotlight? And what does it bring to the rest of the LGBTIQ+ community? How do we gain visibility, use it and what can we achieve with it?

?️ With ‘Pride Connects’, we strive to connect the local LGBTIQ+ youth, activists, and all those interested in the political side of Pride(s) and LGBTIQ+ Human Rights Struggles in Slovenia and across the world.

We know that being an openly LGBTIQ+ person and walking down any public space is a political act, and we know it is not easy – so we want to create a safe(r) space for all LGBTIQ+ people and a place of empowerment.
