Event Information
About this Event
In the fourth of the series, Stewart McDonald MP will host activists from Russia.
• Soldado Koval, an Eastern European trans activist originally from Tumen, Russia. Soldado's story illustrated the universal nature of prejudice and discrimination that trans people face all over the region. He fled Russia following threats and violence from local neo-Nazis and was finally granted asylum in the Netherlands
• Svetlana Zakharova, a Russian queer activist representing the country's leading queer rights organisation 'Russian LGBT Network.' Among many other great things, the network has led the rescue effort for the victims of the Chechen queer pogroms in Southern Russia in 2017-19.
After a short opening from both guests, you will have the chance to ask questions.
