LGBT Association LIGA - Odesa

LGBT Association LIGA, founded in Mykolaiv in 1996, is one of Ukraine's older LGBTQ+ organisations. After Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 it expanded into Odesa. There it offers HIV and STI testing and counselling, social and educational events, and an emergency shelter for displaced or vulnerable LGBTIQ+ people. It has also handed out food and hygiene kits across the Odesa, Mykolaiv and Kherson region. For safety reasons its addresses are not published. Contact the team through Instagram at @ligalgbt.od.
