Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT)!

May 17th marks International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).

Against a backdrop of the events of the past 12 month, this year’s theme “Together: Resisting, Supporting and Healing” serves a rallying call. Together we resist can homophobia, biphobia, intersexism and transphobia in our workplaces, we can continue to support one another, particularly our colleagues living and working in parts of the world where the lives and safety of LGBTIQ+ people are continually at risk, and with each step forward we can and will collectively heal. This year’s theme also gives us an opportunity to spotlight many of the issues LGBTIQ+ personnel and dependents continue to face as highlighted in our annual statement for IDAHOBIT.

We encourage you all to share our statement along with these posters (JPEG & PDF) on your social media accounts.
