June 2024 – Pride Month at University of Warsaw
06 06 2025
June is celebrated as Pride Month – visibility and support for LGBT+ people
The choice of date is not accidental because it commemorates the events at the Stonewall Bar in New York, where in June 1969 there were riots between LGBT+ people and the police, who once again organized a raid to persecute the community. Stonewall has become a symbol of the fight for rights – equality, respect, safety, tolerance and acceptance.
At the University of Warsaw, we respect equality and diversity. We want everyone to feel safe and at home here.
We cordially invite you to the support group for LGBTQ+ students organized by the UW Psychological and Counselling Services Centre.- find support among people with similar experiences,
- share their experiences regarding, among others: coming out or minority stress,
- better understand their emotions related to gender identity or sexual orientation,
- cope with difficulties, e.g. in the transition process,
- learn to create closer friendships or romantic relationships.
