Last year’s Pride event at Newzoo was powerful. The stories shared by our colleagues were honest, eye opening, and deeply vulnerable—shedding light on what it means to navigate the world as part of the LGBTQIA community. It sparked real conversations and helped us better understand one another.
This year, we’re zooming out.
We’re proud to be partnering with Hivos, a non-profit organization at the forefront of the global fight for equality. Together, we’re turning our focus to LGBTQIA+ rights around the world—where progress is being made, where it’s under threat, and what global solidarity truly means.
Because at the core, being human is about connection. No matter where we come from, we all share a desire for safety, dignity, freedom, and love. Pride is not just a celebration—it’s a reminder that these rights are still not a reality for everyone, everywhere.
And in times like these, when progress isn’t always guaranteed and hard-won rights are still being questioned in many places, standing behind this cause truly matters.
We encourage you to take a moment to explore the incredible work Hivos is doing and consider how you might support in a way that feels meaningful to you. One powerful way is by donating to the Bessy Ferrera Fund—an emergency fund that offers life-saving help to LGBTQIA+ activists facing immediate danger.
The Bessy Ferrera Fund provides immediate support to those in direct need—covering medical bills, purchasing a plane ticket to relocate, securing websites, or replacing stolen property.
Even a small contribution can make a real difference. Every euro goes directly to those in urgent need, offering hope and safety where it’s needed most.
Let’s stand together—not just this Pride, but always.
