The IWWIT campaign publishes the Video "MORE SPACE". The aim: to counter exclusion together.
Where can you be yourself? Where do you feel safe? Is there enough space for you? These questions from queers to queers are the subject of the Video "MORE SPACE" of ICH WEISS WAS ICH TU (IWWIT), the prevention campaign of Deutsche Aidshilfe for gay and bisexual men.
Bars, clubs, associations and groups: queer communities have fought hard for many spaces. Spaces that are still needed and used today. But is there enough space for everyone? Studies such as the one on Queerophobia of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) or Positive voices 2.0 show that many queer people experience discrimination and marginalisation, even within the queer community.
IWWIT wants to show with this video: Together MORE SPACE is possible for all of us!
Jonathan Gregory, Head of IWWIT:
"Whether gay, trans, HIV-positive, BIPoC, people with disabilities, kinksters, youngsters or best agers: we all need spaces where we are not alone, where we can be who we are. Especially now, in a time characterised by crises and increasingly hardening fronts, we need spaces that strengthen us. For us as queers, it is now important to gather our resources, represent our concerns and defend our rights. To do this, we need spaces that empower us and don't marginalise anyone!"
How can we create safe spaces - individually and as a community? IWWIT's "MORE SPACE" campaign aims to bring the two together: "Share the video and let's discuss how we can create more safer spaces for all of us!" says Gregory.
MORE SPACE for community!
