Since its establishment in 2016, the Equal Rights Coalition (ERC) has worked to bring together governments and civil society in pursuit of a common goal to advance the human rights of all people, and to ensure their inclusive development, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, and sex characteristics. We must leave no one behind.
As we continue to consolidate our alliance, the ERC co-chairs, Argentina and the UK, want to commemorate the 2021 International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on 17 May 2021, to draw the world’s attention to the challenges that people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sexual characteristics still face. IDAHOBIT is a day to denounce the human rights violations that the collective faces every day, but also a day of pride, hope and celebration of diversity.
