| Vice
president of C.A.H. untill her death, in 2006, and member of the
Homosexual's Initiative Against Repression (P.O.E.K.) She was an active
member of the feminist and anti-war movement. She was a pioneer for the
foundation of the Refuge's Reception Centre and had helped many refuges
with her knowledge and work, getting them residence permits and
passports. She was a member of groups regarding torture victims and
women traficking victims, as well as employment matters. As a bar and
club owner, she helped groups, both financially and morally, in their
work, always being open in any help and cooperation. Some of her
believes were that we mustn't be racists, because we are already racism
victims and that we, all together, should join against discrimination.
She urged gays and lesbians to admit what they feel shamelessly and to
stand for their rights. It was her wish that the marriage and adoption
for same sex couples be legalised. She believed that the position of
women in society should be ameliorated, and that we must find allies so
we can fight against racism and social exclusion. We wish that Patra's
beliefs and our own be realised soon. |  |
