🇬🇧 In reaction to the war attack on Ukraine and horrible atrocities, Ukrainians are subject to Prague Pride association in cooperation with other LGBTI organizations set up a system of immediate help for anyone who needs it, especially Ukrainian LGBT+ people, their children, families, and loved ones, as they are often those who suffer the most in arm conflicts.
Dear Mr. Prime Minister,
Following our call to you on June 16, 2021 for a public condemnation of a law recently passed in Hungary against LGBT + people, we would like to ask you when the government's analysis of this law will be completed.
We call on Czech politicians, especially the government of the Czech Republic, to help, within their competencies, stop attacks on freedom of speech and LGBT+ people in Hungary
"We're exhausted, we're really scared and we don't know how much longer we can withstand the pressure." This is the desperate call for help that Budapest Pride has sent out in recent days.
1 in 2 gays or lesbians faced a certain form of harassment with 91% of cases not reported, shows ombudsman's study. Victims feel that reporting wouldn't change anything as they have little or no trust in the police. The webinar will focus on how to change that. Experts from the EU and the UK will share their best practices in a panel discussion. You can join us too!
A record number of festival venues, more than one hundred Pride events in Prague and the regions, five hours of online broadcasts daily, rainbow-lit buildings throughout the Czech Republic. The jubilee tenth edition of the Prague Pride festival will take place from 3 to 9 August and, for the first time in its history, will bring together LGBT+ people and others through the interactive online Pride Stream.
There will be a Prague Pride 10th edition this year, as planned, on 3-9 August 2020. But we are already aware that the coronavirus pandemic will have a strong impact on how the Pride week will look like.
According to experts, if you are not in a certain age group (around 70 years of age) nor have ongoing health problems, you are not in danger in case of contracting COVID-19. How about HIV+ people? There are various messages roaming the internet, as there always are, not all true. That’s why we have decided to do our own research from reliable sources and to answer some basic questions concerning HIV+ people in the current situation.
Coronavirus is a new experience for all of us. We could not prepare ourselves for this at school, not even by watching apocalyptic movies. This new situation can make us feel strong, even conflicting emotions.
Prague Pride association has been strongly affected by the coronavirus situation, same as other organizations. After gathering and movement of people had been restricted, we have cancelled some small events and decided to postpone the bigger ones. We have been also thinking about new formats for events held in the times of pandemics. Well-being of the public and our own team is a priority for us. Yet we keep working.
Sbarvouven.cz, the LGBT peer-to-peer mentoring website, celebrated its 5th birthday in February of this year. Since its inception it has helped 3,500 clients, the majority of whom are people under the age of 25. Last year saw the second-highest number of clients – only in the first year of the website had more people asked for help.
