I come from Serbia. It is interesting how I can connect to the theme: the problem of this year's forum. I'll point out that these could be the community and country that I am coming from, Balkan Serbia. I also tie problem directly to myself. I am a woman from the Balkans. I am a woman who is studying philosophy. I am a woman who lives alone with two male friends. I am a woman who travels the world alone. I am also a person who openly supported the Pride parade and is not ashamed to state their political or any other views.
