In early June, the team from the NGO “Resistance” participated in the Wonder Media Forum organized by Wonder Ukraine and the NGO “Pochuta.” The event brought together representatives from the civil society sector, human rights defenders, the media, and government officials for a dialogue on how European values can be translated into real-world social practices.
During the panel discussions, significant attention was devoted to Ukraine’s fulfillment of its European integration commitments in the areas of anti-discrimination policy and the protection of the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, particularly through advocacy.
Separately, the speakers discussed the importance of culture as a component of national security and the role of the media in the process of social change. In particular, they addressed how the media can explain complex reforms in understandable language and serve as a bridge between the government and civil society.
For our team, participating in the forum was an opportunity to share experiences and coordinate efforts with other representatives of civil society. Such platforms help foster a shared understanding of the challenges and areas of focus in the field of equality and human rights protection.
We continue to work to ensure that human rights and the principles of equality are an integral part of Ukraine’s European integration.
