Together we are not exceptions – The Power of Collective Action in Combating Homophobia & Transphobia

Η Διεθνής Ημέρα κατά της Ομοφοβίας, Αμφιφοβίας και Τρανσφοβίας (IDAHOBIT), που τιμάται κάθε χρόνο στις 17 Μαΐου, αποτελεί μια παγκόσμια πρωτοβουλία ευαισθητοποίησης για τα δικαιώματα των ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ ατόμων. Η ημερομηνία αυτή επιλέχθηκε για να τιμηθεί η απόφαση του Παγκόσμιου Οργανισμού Υγείας το 1990 να αφαιρέσει την ομοφυλοφιλία από τη λίστα των ψυχικών διαταραχών .

IDAHOBIT 2025 calls on organizations, governments, and citizens to engage in actions that promote equality and acceptance. From awareness-raising events to political initiatives, collective effort is the key to progress.

Let us use this day to amplify the voices of our communities, promote acceptance, and work for a world where every person, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, lives with dignity and respect.
