Last weekend DDingDong opened a booth in Seoul Queer Culture Festival. It’s the biggest LGBTQ event in South Korea. More than 500 LGBTQ Youth visited our booth and we handed out <Pride Passport> which contained a list of human rights for queer youth. Also, LGBTQ youth who got this passport can decorate it as they want to do, like their own pride flags and their names and so on.
We counseled 31 LGBTQ youths in Mar, 25 in Apr, 28 in May and 21 in June. And we support LGBTQ youths in crisis providing food, daily necessities, medical services, counselling and so on.
We hosted DDingDong Lunch(Totobob) total 8 times for this four month. And more than 40 LGBTQ Youth visited Totobop and had lunch together. (10 people each lunch). Especially this semester, we visited other region of korea, Joenju and Daegu so we could meet local LGBTQ youths in there.
We continued outreach program, DDingDong Pocha(Korean Style Bar), it is held every first Saturday night of every month. We share some food and snack. And they can play some board games and if they want they can get a counselling. And we gave many condoms, lubricants, sanitary pads, lip balms, wet wipes, socks, underwears, vitamins and so on.
