Lesbians for Refugees

We need your help to support our community in Ukraine, at the borders and beyond - NO CONTRIBUTION IS TOO SMALL!

How can I contribute?
Europe's lesbian festivals draw large and faithful crowds who year after year come to enjoy convivial female company and the unique spaces created when hundreds to thousands of women come together. Programs are filled with music, art, sport, relaxation, workshops and of course parties that showcase top lesbian DJ talent and live performance. Take your pick: tent-filled fields in the English countryside, a remote Greek isle, wild summer pool parties just off the beaches of Spain.
