In addition, director Yuri Dvizhon has previously shot successful projects advocating for the adoption of Bill 9103 on civil partnerships (https://youtu.be/oZk2mf1_SWc?si=Ebi4LnvxWxYiRFmX), a video depicting the life of the queer community during wartime (https://youtu.be/j8Cp6kKptjY?si=DOSvWsz9-UuHd2UK), and an HIV awareness campaign (https://youtu.be/j4A2WARX_ac?si=UkbomPkwuxhTDu5A).
This project is unique due to the NGO's direct access to the target audience of the bill and the participation of hate crime survivors, whose experiences underscore the necessity of criminalising such acts under Bill 5488.
The outcomes aim to garner public support for the bill and influence decision-makers to enact it.
