Quarteera e.V. has been advocating for the visibility and rights of Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ people in Germany since 2011. The organization offers educational programs, counseling, cultural activities, and is committed to the integration of refugees.
Quarteera e.V. is the first nationwide association in Germany that has been specifically advocating for the concerns and visibility of Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ people in Germany since its founding in April 2011. The name of the association is a play on words derived from "queer," "art," and "quartier."
The main mission of Quarteera is to counteract the multiple discrimination faced by Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ people who are disadvantaged due to their origin, sexual, and gender identity. The association promotes awareness of LGBTQ+ issues within the Russian-speaking community in Germany and supports the integration and visibility of this group[2][3][4].
Quarteera is engaged in various sustainable projects and initiatives:
Quarteera condemns the illegal war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine and advocates for the rights and well-being of LGBTIQ* individuals in war zones. The association also monitors the situation in Belarus and condemns the political repression and human rights violations in that country[5].
Quarteera e.V. is a central actor in the fight for the rights and visibility of Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ people in Germany and tirelessly advocates for a more inclusive and just society.
