Pride is celebrated all over the country throughout the year, and Queer World participates in many of them. The next Pride events on the agenda are Pride in Bergen (1 June to 8 June) and Pride in Oslo (19 June to 29 June). True to tradition, Skeiv Verden Vest organises several events both before and during Pride Week. Here you can read more about what's coming up.
Queer World is a membership organisation for queer people with a minority background. We work to improve the living conditions of our members on many different levels. It's important for us to be a clear and visible actor in order to highlight the challenges our target group faces in their minority communities, the queer community and in society as a whole. We want to show that we are queer and religious and have different ethnicities, it's possible! That's why we're in the parade!
With the polarisation we see in society today, and the atrocities happening in the world, we can't stay silent or sit still, so it's even more important than ever that we stand up, be visible and shout out for ourselves and all those we stand in solidarity with!
We want to reflect the value that started the queer movement, it was the minorities in the minority, transgender people, sex workers and queer people with different ethnic backgrounds who were at the forefront and are still the ones who are hardest hit by discrimination and living conditions challenges. We want to celebrate ourselves and show the breadth of the queer community!
In 2023, Queer World walked first in the parade for the first time, and we are very happy that PKI gets to walk first this year! Allowing all the queer organisations that work for the queer population, all year round, to walk first in the parade is something that Queer World has been working towards for many years, and we are very proud to have made this change.
Meet like-minded queers with minority backgrounds
Stand up against discrimination and support an inclusive society
Celebrate equality, queerness and have fun!
Queer World started as a project under the auspices of FRI and was formally established as an independent organisation in 2010.
