Go rainbow against discrimination!
Join millions of people around the world – go rainbow to build a world free from discrimination.
At school, work, in your community or by yourself, going rainbow makes a difference, and creates LGBTQIA+ inclusion.
May 17 marks the anniversary in 1990 that homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases. Today, IDAHOBIT is the international celebration of advancements in LGBTQIA+ equality, while also acknowledging the unfortunate reality that there's still more work to do.
68% of LGBTQIA+ employees in Australia are not out to everyone at work.
35% of LGBTQIA+ Australians have experience verbal abuse in the past 12 months.
66% of LGBTQIA+ youth in Australia still experience abuse due to their identity.
Whether you're hosting a workplace morning tea, a school assembly, classroom discussion, or a fundraiser in your community, every activity makes a difference, and creates vital, visible LGBTQIA+ inclusion.
The funds raised through IDAHOBIT go towards supporting the work of Minus18, improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth all year round.
