Female Oxygen
Do you want to explore new ways of interacting and creating bonds that will empower women in need of support?
Do you want to create and find new ways of promoting equality and human rights on a small scale level? And do you want to engage your own community in doing so?
We believe that there is a need for stronger personal connections or alliances, which will engage and increase the support around the world. The idea is to create small-step change both in our own community and in those communities, we support.
Humor and warmth are important ingredients in our work. We want to give air, so that women may breathe more freely, that is why we call our selfs Female Oxygen”.
Our goal is to create new insights on how to take the idea of oxygen to LBT women all over the world.
We provide direct support to women in need not only financially but also with moral support, visibility and networking. We believe in small step changes and cooperating with partners about a certain support issue or task.

ABOUT US
Female Oxygen is a Danish group of lesbian activists. Formed in 2009 in the aftermath of World Outgames in Copenhagen. We were all involved in Out reach programme, human rights conference and in Womens Space.
Four years after WO, we create social and cultural events and create new ways of making network. We bring people together, we create a community, embracing LGBT-people and newcomers and existing groups. We give oxygen to the communities. We are reaching out to women in need of support.
We are not a political organization. We are activists providing financial as well as moral support to hard working lesbians activists around the world.
At the same time we provide oxygen for the lesbians in a relative safe country like Denmark by creating different and funny fundraising parties focusing on each guest.
We support small organizations, where we can make a difference with our support. At the same time we make an awareness about LGBT rights in the specific country, that we support.
