Organisers: NGO Human Rights Information Centre
How will the Istanbul Convention help us to fight violence against women and domestic violence? Why are Ukrainian lawmakers afraid of the word ‘gender’, and what does the church have to do with it? Does the Istanbul Convention say anything about sexual orientation?
At this event, the experts will debunk the myths and manipulative claims around this document, and particularly around the law on amending the Criminal Code, also known as the ‘Law on consent to sex’.
Speakers:
Yulia Dontsova, works at the Amnesty International Office in Ukraine;
Iryna Vyrtosu, journalist at the Human Rights Information Centre.
Moderator: Yelyzaveta Sokurenko, journalist at the Human Rights Information Centre.
