Fight for Global Rights – Solidarity knows no borders. Lesbians, gays, bi, trans* and inter* people (LGBTIQ*) suffer from disenfranchisement, persecution and abuse in many parts of the world. We stand by their side in solidarity. The Munich Kyiv Queer contact group, created in 2012 after the Pride in Munich, is specifically committed to the human rights of homo-, bi-, trans* and inter* people in Ukraine. The city partnership between Kyiv and Munich is the basis for this. Since then, a lively collaboration has developed between the LGBTIQ* groups in both cities, which are linked in friendship. The joint projects have long since extended beyond Kyiv into the whole of Ukraine.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full scale war, Munich Kyiv Queer has reinvented itself as an aid organisation. We raise funds for Ukrainian LGBTIQ* in need and support refugees.
