International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
UNDP, 17 May 2019 - "Everyone is born free and equal in dignity and rights. However, discriminatory laws, policies and practices against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people are still in place around the world – in some countries, they are even resurfacing after being dormant for some years.
This 17 May, IDAHOT is focusing on justice and protection for all – both of which are central to driving progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Enacting and enforcing non-discriminatory laws and policies, repealing punitive laws and ensuring access to justice for all are also critical to delivering on the United Nations’ (UN) core commitment to leave no one behind."
