Surveillance and the threat of imprisonment: Euronews spoke to Russian queer activists who have chosen to stay in the country, despite increasing hostility towards the LGBTQ+ community
Centre-T is one of the largest organisations connecting Russia’s transgender community with medical care, hormones and even support for those seeking to flee the country.
In July, Moscow approved a law that prohibits gender-affirming care, nullifies marriages where at least one member has transitioned and bars transgender people from adopting or fostering children.
Sof told Euronews that Centre-T has received several hundred requests in recent months, some originating from profiles with suspicious-seeming names.
This designation requires organisers to handle burdensome paperwork, have limited access to funding, and face potential fines for non-compliance.
According to Maria Arkhipova, a Russian trans activist and human rights lawyer currently based in Georgia, these laws can even have a deadly impact on the country’s LGBTQ+ community.
