I have been involved in the LGBT activism for six years, first as a volunteer at the feminist lesbian NGO “Women’s Network” and then as a co-founder of the LGBT NGO “Insight” in 2008. Being a lesbian, I face stigmatization, discrimination and intolerance related to my sexuality and gender identity in my... every day life.

I am confident I will make a strong contribution to our common struggle for equality and recognition.
