Solidarity after three years of war: a look at the realities in Kyiv

Russia’s war against Ukraine is entering its third year. To mark the occasion, the City of Munich is organising a panel discussion at Bellevue di Monaco. 28 February, 7 pm, Müllerstraße 2-6. Munich Kyiv Queer will join in.

The panel will provide insights into the humanitarian situation, political developments and social dynamics in Ukraine, three years after the Russian full-scale attack. We will address how the war is affecting different population groups, including vulnerable communities, and what support they need. We will also discuss how Munich’s urban society can show solidarity with the people in Ukraine, especially with our twin city Kyiv. We have invited:

This is how you can donate

INDIVIDUAL HELP Munich Kyiv Queer has its own fundraising campaign via https://www.paypal.me/ConradBreyer to support queer people in Ukraine who are in need or on the run. Why? Because not all LGBTIQ* are organised in the local LGBTIQ*-groups. This help is direct, fast and free of charge if you choose the option “For friends and family” on PayPal. If you don’t have PayPal, you can alternatively send money to the private account of Conrad Breyer, speaker of Munich Kyiv Queer, IBAN: DE427015000021121454.

All requests from the community are meticulously checked in cooperation with our partner organisations in Ukraine. If they can help themselves, they take over. If the demands for help exceed their (financial and/or material) possibilities, we will step in.

HELP FOR LGBTIQ* ORGANISATIONS To support LGBTIQ* in Ukraine we have helped set up the Alliance Queer Emergency Aid Ukraine, in which around 40 German LGBTIQ* Human Rights organisations are involved. All these groups have access to very different Human Rights organisations in Ukraine and use funds for urgently needed care or evacuation of queer people. Every donation helps and is used 100 percent to benefit queer people in Ukraine. Donate here

VULNERABLE GROUP And here you can find out why queer people in war need our support.
