IDAHOBIT: International Day Against LGBTIQ+ phobia
This year’s IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia), one of the LGBTIQ+ community’s important commemoration days, embraces the slogan “Break the Silence”. It comes in a strange time full of uncertainties: COVID-19 led to the fact that a lot of Prides and other LGBTIQ+ festivals and events have been canceled or postponed, consequently resulting in weakening the sense of community and visibility within the LGBTIQ+ community.
That’s why it is important more than ever to engage, mobilise, show we are here, we exist and our lives matter and that we will not tolerate the silence! Or, as it is stated in this years statement: “By all coming together on one global day, our “noise” will be so loud that all our LGBTQI+ sisters and brothers all over the world who cannot speak up will hear the sound of hope and solidarity.”
Because COVID-19 makes it harder for us to take over the streets, some express their political opinion with the help of street art and graffiti. That’s why we have prepared a (upcoming) video for you about it – see how they break the silence! The video will be released on Sunday.
