Anna Sharyhina
Sharyhina and her partner, Vira Chemygina, have been part of the Ukrainian LBGT community and lesbian organizations for years. They organized Kiev's first walks for equality. The second walk for equality in Kiev was held in 2015. Police officers and public figurs supported the walk. However, the walk only lasted for 15 minutes because of the violence against the marchers. Ten people, including police officers guarding the event, were injured.
