Diplomats for Equality Vienna marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia on 17 May 2026
Human rights are universal and apply equally to all people everywhere. That is why today and every day we work to address the ongoing discrimination against LGBTI persons globally.
We support the IDAHOBIT 2026 theme, “At the core of democracy”. It reminds us that any society cannot be complete without equality, dignity, and the full inclusion of LGBTI persons. It also celebrates the contributions of human rights defenders, civil society organisations and the millions of allies who support equality and diversity across the world.
We are united in our support of diversity and our shared commitment to ensuring that those who identify as LGBTI persons can enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. We celebrate and support inclusive societies that uphold the dignity and full and equal enjoyment of human rights by LGBTI persons and endeavour to ensure all individuals in society are treated equally in all spheres of society.
We invite you to support these goals, and to follow our coverage on social media via #DiplomatsForEquality.
