////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///// /////////////// ///// ///////////////////// 1. Context : the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia T he International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia ("IDAHO") was launched in 2004 by an international group of activists.
The International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia (“IDAHO”) was launched in 2004 by an international group of activists. The date of May 17 was chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders. The sheer diversity of social, religious, cultural and political contexts in which the rights to express gender freedom and to engage in same-sex relationships need to be addressed makes it impossible for the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia to take one specific form or agenda. This is why “IDAHO” is not one centralized campaign, but an opportunity for everyone to fight for sexual diversity and gender freedom according to the context in which they work. It is a moment, a space that everyone, both within and beyond the LGBTI movement, can take advantage of to take action.
The International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia is now celebrated in more than 100 countries across the world in the most varied ways and expressions. LGBTI organisations, governments, cities, human rights organizations and others have engaged in activities around May 17 in all world regions, from Australia to Iran, and from Cameroon to Albania.
It creates an opportunity for all to: i Draw media attention to the issue of homophobia and transphobia ; i Organize events which mobilize public opinion ; i Demand attention from policymakers and engage in lobbying activities ; i Network with like-minded organizations and develop new partnerships at home or beyond ; and i Mobilize existing constituencies and address new audiences. 2. Context : the IDAHO Committee T he Idaho Committee was set up by the founders of the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia.
Its objective is to make the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia a global awareness and mobilization moment that represents a useful opportunity for everyone to take action at all levels.
Its core strategies are to: i Give the initiative the necessary scope, visibility and recognition that will maximize its potential as a political force at all levels and, particularly: Develop the scope and the diversity of mobilization on the Day around the world; Develop the visibility of the Day; and Promote recognition of the Day by official stakeholders (states, local authorities, Institutions and others) i Support organizations, especially those working in very difficult contexts, to develop actions around the Day and make best local use of the Day in their lobbying and campaigning strategies. i Develop and facilitate international mobilization initiatives on specific LGBT issues using the Day as a campaigning focus.

For this year’s IDAHO, a group of organizations from all continents converged with the intention to use the Day as a key moment for action in tackling homophobia and transphobia within educational systems, and to develop the capacity of these systems to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying in schools.
The IDAHO Committee supported the group by developing resource documents in English, Spanish and French which are destined to help teachers address the issue of homophobia and transphobia, referencing available pedagogical resources in the respective languages. “ Cures that Kill”
These guidelines were intended to inspire teachers Last year, organizations from 12 countries in Latin and all educational staff, as well as student themselves, America joined forces in a powerful campaign to to hold an “IDAHO Lesson” on May 17, for which combat the so-called “reparative therapies”, which the IDAHO Committee and UNESCO have developed are promoted throughout the region by dogmatic specific guidelines and tools for both primary and religious groups. The campaign was coordinated secondary school levels. by the IDAHO Committee and received financial support from Dutch philanthropic organization The organizations which mobilized around this HIVOS. With ongoing support, actions continued theme also each developed their own set of IDAHO around IDAHO 2012 on this topic in several countries, actions, details of which can be found in the with a special emphasis on Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. following pages. Countries in which organizations participated in activities on this theme are marked Concerts, exhibitions, expert panels, publications with a of annual reports on human rights abuses, TV and radio programs and ecumenical vigils raised At the international level, UNESCO joined the the awareness of the public and policymakers of activities by hosting an international conference the damage that these “therapies” cause, both on IDAHO at their Paris Headquarters. The directly (forceful detention in clinics, physical and conference marked the launch of their publication psychological torture) and indirectly (reinforcement on “Education sector responses to homophobic of social homophobia). bullying”, which is a collection of best-practice stories from all over the world. Regionally, the Pan-American Health Organization issued a declaration which underlines that “so- called therapies to change sexual orientation lack any medical ground and are ethically unacceptable”. The declaration was promoted among all medical institutions in the region and will constitute the basis for ongoing lobbying and campaigning work
on this issue.

Forty cities, primarily in Russia and Germany, but also in Greece, Ukraine and Finland, saw activities take place.
Many international organizations marked the Day with special events and messages, including Amnesty International, the Red Cross-Red Crescent Society, Human Rights Watch, and Human Rights First. Companies and international corporations also showed increasing interest in using the Day as a focal point to mobilize against homophobia and transphobia. Last but not least, Social networks also heavily mobilized this year, creating outreach to millions of users worldwide. ilga
This year, the international LGBTI umbrella organization ILGA again released its “State- sponsored Homophobia” report and “Gay and Lesbian Rights” map. The number of countries reported to criminalize same-sex relationships is up from the previous year, and now stands at 78. The report also noted an increase in laws limiting certain rights of sexual and gender minorities, such as the right to assembly and the right to expression. Simultaneously, the European branch of ILGA released its Annual Review of the Human Rights Situation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and

This year, 50 000 pin badges and brochures were distributed to all schools and all youth centers, as well as to local councils, cultural centers and medical facilities with support from various ministries and partners. The distribution of material will stretch over the summer during many music festivals. In the Flemish-speaking region, LGBT student groups organized a conference on LGBT rights in Europe.
