General Information

We are a local NGO working in Lappeenranta, Finland. We host events and do social media content for LGBTQIA+ rights. We are a small Intersectional Feminist and Anti-racist organisation. We are three people, all volunteers. Our funding is mostly from private persons, some from city of Lappeenranta. We had Pride march and picnic and a Pride week last year. This year we have had a protest for Trans rights and a virtual Pride week on Instagram, including Instagram - Lives with Sinuiksi, Trasek and other organisations working on the same field. Theme was Rainbow youth. Our partners have been city of Lappeenranta, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Nicehearts in Lappeenranta and many more.

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We are working on a local level but we have been managed to co-operate with many organisations around Finland through social media. We have a great social media precence and we do a lot of activism. We would love to share our ideas and to hear others.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

We are working towards more equal society and we believe it is only possible if we work together. We would love to have dialogue and have some joined projects with people from Finland and abroad.
