 Donate for LGBTIQ* in Ukraine

LEGATO supports the two fundraising campaigns set up by Munich Kiev Queer

DONATIONS ARE NEEDED - Our friends are in need. There is a lack of everything!LGBTIQ* organizations are now building shelters where lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, inter*, and queer people, can find accommodation when they require protection, food, and medical care.

Many cities in Ukraine are under attack. You may also have heard that the Russian government is supposed to keep so-called detention lists for those they consider to be opponents. Among them are probably also prominent Human Rights and LGBTIQ* activists. We cannot prove this, but vulnerable groups like LGBTIQ* are always at risk – especially in times of war. 

Please share and donate what you can

Hope, Support and Solidarity

Share your messages, images and videos on our webpage for all LGBTQ+ people affected by the war in Ukraine.

Still time to register for the 21-22 May
Rendez-Vous in Bologna

LEGATO’s members are invited to come to Bologna for a special get-together between 21 and 22 of May 2022. The weekend will be the perfect occasion for getting to know the city and some of the venues selected for the Various Voices 2023 Festival: theaters, open air venues, recovered old industrial buildings. 

Of course there will be live music on the Saturday evening with a concert featuring Komos. Most of all we want you to hang out together, feeling the magical atmosphere of Bologna and tell everyone to come to Various Voices 2023!

Registration closes on the 15th of March at 12.00pm CET.
