One of the most valuable and beneficial aspects of our work through the EEPP project was cooperating by organising events for the Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) and with campaigning and publication of materials. LAVERNA is a volunteer run trans-feminist initiative that focuses strongly on empowering trans and queer communities, developing leadership potential, creating support networks and enabling access to socio-economic stability. As an initiative working with some of the most vulnerable communities in one of the most remote regions of the country, cooperation with TGEU through the EEPP project allowed us to access resources that otherwise would be inaccessible for us. Having a chance to publish and share informational and campaigning materials and organise the event for the communities has helped us to reach out to new beneficiaries and to create new allies in the human rights arena. Apart from monitoring cases of violence and discrimination against trans people, our project has organised events for TDoR to raise awareness about violence faced by trans communities all over the world. On the 21st of November 2016, volunteers of the project and members of the community gathered to send messages of support and solidarity to trans communities, and to put the message “Stop Transphobia” in central parts of the city. LAVERNA messages in Omsk On the 27th of November, in cooperation with a local feminist initiative and a local LGBT centre, LAVERNA organised an event to open up dialogue about the issues faced by trans people in the region and to present the project “My Story”. The event included a workshop and discussion on genderbased violence, a presentation of the recent research of LAVERNA on violence against trans people in Siberia and the current situation of trans communities in the Siberian region. It also showcased the presentation of the photo-project “My Story” created by LAVERNA for TDoR. “My story” is a collection of stories from trans individuals and their friends and families from all over Siberia. Through their open letters the participants talk about their journey towards understanding their gender identity, accepting who they are and the struggles they have faced. As of today, 20 individuals from 3 regions aged between 18-50 have taken part in the project.
