THURSDAY 17/8 HUMAN RIGHTS PROGRAM
RAINBOW SQUARE 14:00 - 14:45 UNHAPPY COPENHAGEN
Now that Isak and Even are together, marriage is gender neutral, and trans* has been removed from the list of psychiatric diagnoses, you’d think we’d reached a happy ending in the fight for equality and that living as a LGBT+ person in Denmark would be easy. But there are still lots of calls every week when counselling services in LGBT Denmark, LGBT+ Youth and Sabaah are open. Join us and find out what queer persons and the people around them struggle with and why it’s important to have someone to talk to. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
14:00 - 14:45 HUMAN RIGHTS IN PRIDE
Human Rights become more and more important within the Pride movement. Many Prides, big and small, are trying to find ways to include a Human Rights program. Debates, exhibitions and movies are a number of tools to fulfill this objective. Nevertheless, how can we do more than just inform the public? How can we have an impact on the legal or/and social climate regarding LGBTI themes on local as well as international levels? Participants: Frank van Dalen, Liberal International, Michele Irimia-Bernabe, Co-Chair of InterPride’s Human Right and Development Director of NYC Pride. In English. Steak Royal, Regnbuepladsen 3, 1550 Copenhagen V
14:15 - 15:15 SEXISM AS SOCIETAL ISSUE
How is sexism expressed in Denmark today, and how can it be understood and fought as a societal issue? Since 2013, the Everyday Sexism Project Denmark has collected approximately 3000 accounts of everyday sexism, and through information and political work, they have helped put focus on the issue. This presentation will explore the dynamics of everyday sexism using a number of personal accounts from the intersection between sexism and LGBT+ issues. In Danish. Steak Royal, Regnbuepladsen 3, 1550 Copenhagen V
14:45 - 15:30 DISCRIMINATION IN SPORTS
How do you fight discrimination in sports? We have invited representatives from all athletic unions to join a discussion on how they work on fighting and preventing discrimination within their sport. It is our hope that the representatives can learn from and inspire each other, so we can find a common ground against discrimination. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
mark and literature and gender researcher. In Danish. Steak Royal, Regnbuepladsen 3, 1550 Copenhagen V
15:30 - 16:15 SKOLETJENESTEN AT LGBT+ YOUTH
Join us for a discussion about gender and sexuality norms from a norm-critical point of view. Which norms are suppressive and excluding? How can we make our language more inclusive? How can we make the debate about equality less single-minded? And what are privileges? Learn more about your own and others’ position (of power) in society. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
16:15 - 16:45 MINORITY STRESS
LGBTQ’s experience significantly more discrimination, stigma, and bullying compared to the rest of the population. A lot of them don’t ask for help – because people who identify as part of the LGBTQ community are used to being misunderstood and have given up. Some people are afraid to go to the doctor even if they have a lump in their breast or testicle that should be examined, and other LGBTQ’s don’t get the help they need because time is spent explaining and educating about their “different” lifestyle. These stigmatising experiences are known as “minority stress”, a term psychologist Karina Kehlet Lins will examine in this talk. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
16:45 - 17:45 INTERNATIONAL DEBATE
Hear how Queer Youth Uganda (QYU) and the Health and Rights Initiative (HRI) work with LGBT Denmark using the LILO method in their work in rural Uganda. LILO, which stands for Looking In Looking Out, is an important tool in exploring the journey of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, and in building understanding and empathy as well as reducing stigma within and outside the LGBT+ movement. The goal is to strengthen the individual so they are able to face the challenges they meet. In English. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
17:45 - 18:30 PRIDE AS BATTLEFIELD: WHERE IS DENMARK?
Denmark has long been known as a pioneering country when it comes to LGBT persons’ rights. But what is really going on with rights in Denmark today? Which issues should be put on the political agenda, and what kind of responsibility does Denmark have in the global fight for LGBT rights? Vice Secretary General for Sex & Samfund, Tania Dethlefsen, raises these questions and facilitates a panel debate with Danish politicians from across the political board. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
18:30 - 19:15 QUALITY OF LIFE IN THE TREATMENT OF HIV
In 20 years, the progress in the treatment of HIV has shifted the perspective from a question of survival to a question of a good life with chronic illness. That’s why we have to think of health in a broader perspective and include more aspects of quality of life. How can we frame quality of life in the health system so that it secures a uniform quality of treatment with focus on equality in health while leaving room for a more comprehensive approach to the individual patient? In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V
15:15 - 16:00 DEAD GAYS IN DANISH LITERATURE 1880-1941
Danish literature started describing homosexual characters early. As early as the 1880’s, the first homosexual men and women appeared – both in wellknown and in now forgotten works. Their special talent was dying. This necrophile study focuses on the heteronormativity in Danish literature expressed through a particular “heteronarrativity” in which homosexual characters are introduced, presented, and disposed of in order to move the plot along and obtain the happy heterosexual ending. Prepare yourselves for a stack of literary corpses. Participant: Dag Heede, Lecturer at the University of Southern Den-
19:15 - 20:00 HEALTH INEQUALITIES AMONG WOMEN WHO HAVE SEX WITH WOMEN
There is a high degree of health inequality and excess mortality among LGBT persons, particularly among women who have sex with women. What can we do to lessen this inequality? And how do we make sure that health workers gain competencies to secure effective prevention measures? Join the debate. Danish AIDS-Foundation is launching a campaign and an examination about sexual health for lesbians, bisexuals, queers, and women who have sex with women. This is presented at the debate. In Danish. Debate tent, Regnbuepladsen, 1550 Copenhagen V 9
