Lygiosios is an organisation based in Kaunas, Lithuania, whose main goal is to have a significant impact on the lives of Lithuanian women. Through local activism and the power of social media, we aim to ensure women’s safety and equality. In a society where gender inequality, women’s insecurity, various forms of violence (psychological, physical, sexual and harassment), discrimination and post-feminism still exist, we are committed to ensuring that women’s concerns and expectations are visible and prioritised.
How we work?
1. We make extensive use of platforms such as Instagram and Facebook for education, socialisation, emotional support and information.
2. We work with municipalities, public authorities and other organisations to create a safer environment in cities and across the country.
3. We actively collaborate with other organisations and activists to strengthen the influence of the feminist movement.
4. We organise exhibitions to address the social problems faced by women in society and initiate various forms of protests.
