2020 Events – Asia regional

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOT) 2020, we celebrate through online engagement as the world continues to be under country-wide lockdowns and quarantine measures brought about by COVID-19. Youth Voices Count is calling for our LGBTI siblings and allies to call for Equality and Healing. – shorturl.at/emGK1   

Join the Youth Voices Count’s online Mandala Call to Action. Create and color your Mandalas. Take a photo with your Mandala. Share with us how, during this IDAHOT, we can achieve equality and healing. 

You can create your mandala in three ways—by visiting a website, downloading apps on your phone, or by printing and coloring the mandala figures provided at the end of this document. We’ve listed these options below. More details can be found here: shorturl.at/emGK1   

Once you have finished creating your mandala, kindly download or scan it and then send it to us at secretriat@yvc-asiapacific.org along with your message on equality and healing. Feel free to post them on social media and tag our Facebook page Youth Voices Count. Use the hashtags #IDAHOT2020 #HealingAndEquality #BreakingTheSilence
Deadline for submissions is on May 14, 2020. Your mandalas will be posted on the Youth Voices Count social media and website on May 17, 2020. For more details click on this link: shorturl.at/emGK1

In Southeast Asia, ASEAN SOGIE Caucus will organize a talk on Homo-Bi-Transphobia in the time of Corona to provide platform for members of LGBTIQ communities to share and discuss about the implications of Covid-19 in the daily lives; to provide platform for straight allies to understand the situation faced by our communities and how they can support; and to generate ideas for collective actions and solidarity among our community and allies to survive pandemic.www.facebook.com/aseansogie
