“Is it too much to ask to be informed about your loved one's death?” asks Anna Ziablikova. She is a #LGBTQIA rights activist, and since 2022, a soldier in the Ukrainian army 🇺🇦 The Russian full-scale invasion prompted the Ukrainian LGBTQIA community to discuss their lack of legal rights. As same-sex relationships cannot be legalized, this leaves their families unprotected, unsupported and unrecognized if something unexpected happens. In the third story of our #VoicesOfPride 🏳️🌈 this month, the MICT - Media in Cooperation and Transition fellow Angelina Aredova sheds light on the struggles of LGBTQIA communities in Ukraine amidst of conflict and their ongoing fight for peace and equality. #HannahArendtInitiative Read the full story here: 🇺🇦UKR: https://shorturl.at/teurC 🇬🇧ENG: https://shorturl.at/orW4Z

Now that I am back in Berlin after three weeks of Kyiv and after successfully opening the #KyivMediaHub, I still have to remind myself sometimes that I need to think about having enough electricity to work during blackouts and about air raid alarms. Bringing those experiences to the #URC2024, means that there are two main points where we need results other than defense support: 1) Energy support. The current situation is critical. Blackouts are regularly scheduled but also happen unscheduled. Our Kyiv Media Hub for journalists to be able to continue working, is how we try to answer this challenge. But more important are significant efforts from the global community to support Ukraine with more air defense to protect its energy infrastructure as well as energy support to rebuild and transfer electricity. 2) Include Ukrainian civil society and especially media, local and national, in the recovery efforts. Without a strong civil society and recovery cannot be successful. Also if you are at #URC2024, feel free to reach out and check out the exhibition on the upper floor that we brought from Kyiv to Berlin. It shows why recovery is needed and how Russia is targeting specifically Ukrainian culture and heritage.

📢 The new Київ Media Hub is here 🇺🇦 We are thrilled to launch a vibrant community space in #Kyiv where #UkrainianJournalists can (net)work, bond, and grow together  📰 📻 📡 The #КиївMediaHub will foster a strong, united media community through: 👉 A co-working space with electricity and shelter 👉 Networking and collaboration opportunities with media professionals and civil society 👉 Professional development and training 👉 Events, gatherings, and more Supported UNESCO, the #PeopleOfJapan and the Auswärtiges Amt (Federal Foreign Office) Germany, we opened the hub as a response to the immense challenges faced by media professionals in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion. If you are a media professional from Ukraine, come join us in Kyiv and be part of a resilient, growing community. Together, we are stronger. 🇺🇦#HannahArendtInitiative

They urgently need support to continue their important work freely and safely. Since 2022 and through the MICT - Media in Cooperation and Transition Fellowship for Critical Voices, we have supported 570 journalists and media makers with stipends 💶 professional training 🧑🏫 security software 🛡️ mental health counselling 🛡️ language courses 💬 equipment and legal advice ⚖️, so they can continue shedding light on the shadows, using their voices freely. Today, we call everyone to recognize the importance #pressfreedom, support #journalistsindistress, and advocate for the rights that enable societies to thrive. #HannahArendtInitiative
