7/5 is the premiere of Queer Kallis! One day for all ..

This is a day when Ribersborg's cold bath is open to ALL - regardless of gender, body and identity. Our ambition is that Kallis will always be an inclusive and welcoming haven in Malmö, Queer Kallis is one step in that direction.

"We are excited to get the chance, through Queer Kallis, to contribute to a more open and more understandable society," says Jonas Rincon Dahlberg at Hekajo.

Queer Kallis is aimed at all but especially to Hbtq people. Non-binary and transgender who had previously failed to attend Kallis because of the strict gender division in a women's and men's department now has the opportunity. During these days, everyone has access to the entire bath and the visitors decide on which department they want to swim and go for.

"I do this for the Hbtq community. I do so because I have the desire to

Everyone should be able to experience the amazing impact of cold baths and sauna baths on body and soul.

The key to prosperity is that physical and mental health is connected. It's time for us to Transpersonals get access to the physical domain, and then I mean bathing, sports and other places where the body is in focus, on equal terms to others in society! ", says

Andi Johnsson, one of the initiators of the motion to introduce a gender neutral day at Kallbadhuset.

Queer Kallis is carried out on behalf of Malmö City of Hekajo AB, which is responsible for the Ribersborg cold bathhouse. The decision to introduce these days is a political determination in line with Malmö City's Equal Treatment Plan. Transhälsan and RFSL Rådåningen Skåne have been advisor to Hekajo during the preparatory work and will be in place at the premiere.

"The standard change that takes place in the cold bath is important from an equality and public health perspective. Hbtq people can now experience the great thing about visiting the cold bathhouse without limiting structures, "says Elisabet G Nidsjö, psychologist at RFSL Rådgivningen Skåne.

In addition to regular staff, in order to provide security during the Queer Kallis days, volunteers from Malmö's HBTQ community are in place, both in the bath and in the restaurant. Queer Kallis is a recurring day the first Monday of each month. Ordinary opening hours are valid during the Queer Kallis days. Visitors to Queer Kallis also get a flyer with information about Ribersborg cold bath and the customized well-being rules that apply during the day.
