Video on the Transgender Day of Remembrance event in Kiev by an online news portal, available: http://bit.ly/2gHDW9G UKRAINE Transphobia is rife in Ukraine. It is constantly fueled by the ideology of the far right-movement, which came to prominence after the Euromaidan revolution, and the huge influence that the traditional church still has on public opinion. Recently, the word “gender” was removed from the law on domestic violence because it “goes against the traditional values”, a decision vocally supported by the Ukrainian Council of Churches. The misinformation around the word was so fervent that some religious Christians held protests against the “demons of hunger, poverty and gender”. FOR THE RECORD 2016 | 49 protection from the police, activists managed to share their message and inform people about the day. Activists participating in an Insight-backed initiative in Zaporizhia also launched sky lanterns in remembrance of anti-trans violence victims. A trans activist from Kryvyi Rih also held a protest in the city’s central park.
