Support for LGBTIQ+ persons

Counselling

We provide free individual, couples, or family counseling services delivered by experts knowledgeable about the specific needs of LGBTIQ+ individuals.

Peer support

Peer support includes conversations and counseling among individuals from the same community or with similar experiences.

Legal aid

Legal counseling is conducted by lawyers and activists with many years of experience in the field of LGBTI human rights.

Smoqua

As a combination of art and activism, Smoqua gathers artists and activists from Croatia and abroad with the aim of promoting queer and feminist culture and questioning social prejudices and “inviting” to reflect on them.

In three days of mingling and open dialogue in the City that flows, the audience can feel and “dive” into queer and feminist culture through: exhibitions, panel discussions and talks, workshops, theatre plays, research presentations, drag shows, performances, games and other interactive content.
