Students and faculty of the UBC School of Social Work sent a message of solidarity to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) Russians living under the country’s anti-gay policies and practices. The solidarity stand was part of Outweek at UBC (February 8-14), intentionally scheduled to coincide with the Sochi Olympics.
Other Outweek activities at the School of Social Work included transforming the Jack Bell building into a virtual “Pride House.” For more information about upcoming events to End LGBT Violence in Russia, organized by School of Social Work Bachelor of Social Work student Chad Walters, click here.
