In December 2023, the LGBT movement in Russia was declared extremist. On the day this law was passed, television broadcasts featured segments that included mentions of the Parni+ editorial team. We anticipate that in early 2024, our LGBT portal will be recognized as extremist, further complicating our work. However, thanks to your support, we continue to carry on with our efforts.
In the context of the shrinking information space for the real social agenda and, in particular, LGBTQ+ issues, we consider it important to continue developing our media resource, which is an essential part of community systems.
Since the beginning of the war, our traffic has been constantly growing, which is due to the fact that most independent media either stop their work or write less about LGBT people. Today, we are the most visited LGBT media resource in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. More than 300 thousand unique users read us every month.
However, we keep on working. Thanks to your support, our news specialist continues to work. Over the period, we have posted 110 publications on the site, 44 features and 66 news pieces. As of the time of this report, the site's publications have been viewed by 740,000 unique visitors.
Thank you very much for your support of our work.
