Global backlash, local impact

A talk with Michelle Huber, Elle Bohner und Jasmin Bärtschi.

Michelle Huber and Elle Bohner, together with Jasmin Bärtschi, discuss the local impact of the global backlash and how queer communities are responding to it. Michelle Huber is a political scientist, an enthusiastic queer feminist, and a campaigner.. Her work focuses on right-wing populist parties as well as gender and equality policies. Elle Bohner is the managing director of HAZ – Queer Zürich, an activist and an artist. She actively contributed to the campaign ‘No Ban, No Step Back’ together with TGNS, advocating for the protection of medical support for trans youth.
