violent persecution of queer people
"The persecution of lesbians and trans*people has been quieter. Worldwide judgment has been weak. Not to mention actual help.
It was activists from the Russian LGBT network who took high risks of repression to seek out queer Chechens, smuggle them out of the country and build a network of safe houses in Russia. The input focuses on the outstanding and life-saving work of the activists."
