One-third of discrimination reports nationwide concern sexual orientation, with over 10% of LGBTQIA+ people facing physical or sexual violence — rising to 17% for transgender and 22% for intersex individuals. Meanwhile, the rights of protesters, migrants, and asylum seekers in the city are increasingly diminished. As discrimination rises, especially for those with intersecting marginalized identities, collective action is essential to resist systemic oppression and the violence threatening our lives. Which bodies live, are represented, or accepted in our city? Who regulates them, and why do some have more rights than others? How do we reclaim our bodies and desires? ‘Nieuwe Nieuwsmarkt 2: Body Politics’ explores how Amsterdammers have fought for justice and autonomy, in the past and the present, aiming to contribute to a body language for collective emancipation, making Amsterdam a welcoming and safe city for us all.
