Today is IDAHOBIT, the International Day against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination. We'd like to take this opportunity to throw a spotlight on @minus18youth who do incredible work and have great resources, information and super fun events! Check out their post below for some excellent info on why the day is important and tips on allyship. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Today is IDAHOBIT, the International Day against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination.

It's been 32 years since the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – and as we know, the fight is far from over for the LGBTQIA+ community.

When it comes to building LGBTQIA+ inclusion (and fighting discrimination), allies and LGBTQIA+ folks must stand together to create lasting change.

🌈 77% of Trans & Gender Diverse people report being discriminated against in the past 12 months.
🌈 35% of LGBTQIA+ Australians have experienced verbal assault in the past 12 months.
🌈 39% of LGBTQIA+ people have experienced depression in the last 12 months, compared to 6.2% of the general population.

That's a heck of a lot of people who are being discriminated against, assaulted and bullied based on their identity. By going rainbow today for IDAHOBIT, WE can lead change, build LGBTQIA+ inclusion, and advocate for schools, workplaces and communities where LGBTQIA+ people are safe, empowered, and surrounded by people that support them.

How are YOU celebrating? Tag us in your photos and posts, we'd love to see!

And if you're unsure about what to do today? Spread the word! Share resources, start conversations in-person and online, and visibly take a stand against LGBTQIA+ discrimination. And of course, make a donation to build LGBTQIA+ inclusion every day of the year.
