A message from UN-GLOBE on the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia
As we observe 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), we stand united under this year’s compelling theme: “No One Left Behind: Equality, Freedom, and Justice for All.” This theme resonates profoundly with our mission, as it amplifies our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and justice within the UN system and its peacekeeping operations. It also resonates deeply with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly the overarching principle of Leave No One Behind.
