Happy IDAHOBIT Day! We are proud to continue taking a public stand against hate speech in all forms this day and every day.. in all we do, in the way we show up, in the words we use and in the spaces we create and protect.
We encourage you to take some time today to educate yourself about the LGBTQIA+ community and IDAHOBIT day if this is new to you; as you most likely have people in your life who need to know youโre a safe space for them to live their authentic life ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Today is IDAHOBIT โ the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, discrimination against inters*x people and Transphobia. ๐
A global moment to stand against discrimination and come together for equality!
Did you know:
โข 65 UN member States still criminalise consensual same-s*x s*xual acts
โข At least 62 restrict freedom of expression based on s*xual orientation, gender identity and expression, and s*x characteristics
โข Legal gender recognition based on self-identification exists in just 18 countries
โข Only 9 countries prohibit unnecessary medical interventions on inters*x children
โข In Australia, itโs still legal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people in religious schools and by faith-based service providers
Behind every statistic are people in our communities being denied safety, recognition and equality.
While our experiences may differ across the world, our hope is shared: to live freely, equally and without discrimination - and to be accepted for who we are.
