Description
What does Pride mean when governments monitor, intimidate or silence those who march? Activists from Hungary, China and Israel explore resistance under surveillance. From Hungary, hear how a government Pride ban sparked the largest international Pride turnout in the country's history. A Chinese activist shares experiences of digital surveillance and shrinking civic space. From Israel, a trans-led NGO shares on operating at an intersection: fighting for gender self-determination during an increased local an global hostility while standing in radical solidarity with Palestine. The session concludes with researchers from Belgium presenting an AI-resistant Pride shirt designed to reduce facial recognition during Pride marches.
