Colored Qollective

"Colored Qollective is an organization founded in 2018 that specifically focuses on the position and safety of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual individuals of color (abbreviated to LGBTQIA+). We organize monthly so-called ‘safe space meetings’ in the form of group meetings and social events. In addition, we offer a physical, safe place for people who (may) have to deal with multiple forms of exclusion and oppression.

For us as an organization, it is important that LGBTQIA+ people of color feel as safe as possible. That is why we also organize private meetings, in which only people within the target group can join. Our focus is on LGBTQIA+ black, brown, Roma, and Sinti people, including the refugee fellow man.

Everything we do is from a perspective of intersectionality. This means that we take into account different identities that intersect in every area. Examples include gender and sexual preference, race/ethnicity, class, financial poverty, cultural background, religion/belief, age, migration status, sex work, people with invisible and visible disabilities and/or disabilities, and mental and physical health.

We ourselves consist of a core team of twelve LGBTQIA+ people of color and all work from experiential expertise. In addition, we also provide training and workshops throughout the country, participate in conferences and symposia and are responsible for various projects around this theme".
