Queer Youth Rights: The dissident and decolonial way

As we embark on this year’s Pride Month, Stichting Urgent and Queer City invite you to an evening of learning, artistic performances, and most of all: dissent. We will delve into the topic of what it means to provide a safe and affirming environment for LGBTQI+ children and youth. In line with Queer City’s programme on Decolonization, our activists will shed light on the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ children and youth from a non-western and decolonial perspective, emphasizing the importance of dissident pride as an instrument to safeguard and prioritize this group that faces a systematic and pervasive exclusion worldwide. This underrepresentation, coupled with the systemic challenges they face, makes LGBTQI+ children and youth vulnerable to harassment, violence, and homelessness. The evening closes with a sound and visual performance by artists Nene Monè and Anllel.
