IDAHOBIT is the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia, now more commonly referred to as International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. 🏳️🌈
It’s observed each year on 17 May and marks the day homosexuality was declassified as a 'disease' by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1990. Today, it’s a global reminder of the ongoing work needed to challenge discrimination and create safer, more inclusive communities for everyone.
Getting involved can be as simple as learning more about LGBTQIA+ history, starting respectful conversations, showing visible support, or joining local events and initiatives that promote inclusion and understanding.
Small actions help build safer spaces where people can show up as themselves.
