The Forum is a crucial activist platform for the LGBT+ community, which over the years has shaped memory, solidarity, and a space for new opportunities. This year\u2019s theme, \u201cResilience of the Movement,\u201d was closely tied to the challenges faced, as well as to processes of stabilization and rethinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Forum opened in an atmosphere not only of celebration but also of reflection on the journey so far. The 10th Rainbow Forum not only restored the memory of the movement but also offered an opportunity to look forward. It reminded us that safe spaces are not to be expected &#8211; they are to be created, and that the continuity of the movement is ensured where there is trust, responsibility, and a shared aspiration to build a more just and equal world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"shape-spacer \"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-lg-8\"><div class=\"shape-spacer__wrapper\" style=\"gap: 5%;\"><div class=\"shape-spacer__item\" style=\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 40%;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgb(93,163,220);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"><\/div><div class=\"shape-spacer__item\" style=\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 17%;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgb(231,161,44);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"><\/div><div class=\"shape-spacer__item\" style=\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\twidth: 35%;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbackground: rgb(94,217,151);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information campaign<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In June, <a href=\"https:\/\/pinkarmenia.org\/en\/news-events\/noviolence\/\">Pink published posters and videos<\/a> aiming to highlight common signs of harmony and disharmony in our intimate relationships.
