United in Diversity: Fighting the Anti-Trans Movement (CLE Opportunity)
.png)
Type: CLE
Issues: LGBTIQ+ Rights
This CLE is through Zoom
Across the United States, a dramatic rise in legislation targeting transgender and gender non-conforming people increasingly threatens the human rights of LGBTIQ+ people. These laws include restricting access to gender-affirming health care; limiting access to sports, bathrooms, and other aspects of public life; and controlling access to education about transgender and non-conforming people in schools. These laws not only put transgender and gender non-conforming people at serious risk of discrimination and harm, but they also contravene international human rights standards. In this CLE, we will look at the anti-trans movement in the United States, the impact of these laws on transgender people's lives, and how international human rights law addresses issues of gender identity and expression.

International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia
In a time where the progress made by our LGBTQIA+ communities worldwide is increasingly at risk, it is crucial to recognize the power of solidarity, community, and allyship across different identities, movements, and borders. When we unite, in all our beautiful diversity, we can really bring about change!
Based on this year's theme, "Together always: unity in diversity," Chilean artist Sofía Miranda Van den Bosch created six illustrations that incorporated feedback from LGBTQIA+ organisations and activists from across the world who have joined the IDAHOBIT working group.
