Dorottya Rédai
Gender studies theorist and activist

As a member of the Labrisz Lesbian Association, she is involved in educational programmes for young people aimed at introducing LGBTQ+ issues to schoolchildren. In 2021, she coordinated the publication of the story collection Wonderland Is for Everyone. This children's book contains adapted versions of classic fairy tales as well as original stories featuring characters belonging not only to sexual, ethnic or religious minorities but also to other discriminated or excluded groups. The book sparked a wave of opposition from Hungary's conservative right, with Viktor Orbán describing it as “homosexual propaganda” and the Labrisz association being forced by government decree to include a warning that its content "contradicts traditional gender roles".
