📣👩💼 «У кримінальних справах в Україні щодо домашнього насильства найчастіший вирок — громадські роботи», — каже Олена Шевченко, співзасновниця благодійної організації «Марш жінок», у першому випуску подкасту «Без страху за спиною».
«При цьому тільки на третій раз, як чоловік побив жінку, це може перейти в кримінальне провадження. До того, як втретє побив, ще два рази, штрафи 145 гривень, 350 гривень. Це смішні штрафи і смішна відповідальність».
Які складнощі виникають на шляху імплементації Стамбульської конвенції і чому думка «б’є — значить любить» досі живе в українському суспільстві — слухайте у подкасті «Без страху за спиною»: cutt.ly/3rxWjcvj

🚨 Just in: Ukrainian human rights defenders & journalists—@avalaina, @InsightOlena, @maksymeristavi, @SMusaieva, @OlenaHalushka, @lgbtiqmilitary & others—call out glitzy new @Unilever human rights defenders policy. You can’t pay taxes in Russia & claim to respect human rights.

BREAKING 🚨 Estonia has just become the first ex-Soviet state to legalise same-sex marriage.
For many this isn’t just a huge win for LGBTQ+ rights in the Baltics, but also a statement against Moscow’s treatment of queer people.

No form of discrimination or hate is acceptable in the XXI century – be it on the grounds of race, religion, gender, age or SOGI. We respect #diversity.
