EVENTI
PER IL 6 ° RASSEGNA STAMPA VEGLIE Le
veglie sono eventi in cui si ricordano le persone transessuali assassinate
nel corso dell'ultimo anno in tutto il mondo. Una candela verrà
accesa per ognuna delle vittime
che verranno chiamate per nome una ad una in prima persona con una brevissima bio della loro vita e di come sono morte. Verrà fatto un breve
discorso di commemorazione e di informazione a cui seguirà
qualche istante di raccoglimento.
