Die Abteilung für Chancengleichheit der Universität Bern, das Netzwerk «Queer UniBE» und die Fachstelle für Gleichstellung in Geschlechterfragen der Stadt Bern laden im Rahmen des IDAHOBIT 2026 zu einer Veranstaltung zum Thema «Queerer Aktivismus in Institutionen» ein.
Inhaltliche Angaben zur Veranstaltung
Der Abend beginnt mit einer Lesung und einem Gespräch mit Mani Owzar, Autor*in des Buches «Ich möchte nicht die perfekte Geschichte schreiben». Das Buch porträtiert queere, rassifizierte Aktivistinnen aus der Schweiz. Der Begriff Aktivismus wird dabei bewusst breit gefasst: Er umfasst kulturelles Engagement, das Sichtbarmachen eigener Erfahrungen sowie die Mitgestaltung gesellschaftlicher und politischer Prozesse. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir, wie Aktivismus innerhalb von Institutionen aussehen kann und welche Rolle formelle und informelle Netzwerke dabei spielen. Im Zentrum stehen Fragen wie: Welche Formen von Aktivismus sind innerhalb etablierter Strukturen möglich? Wie können queere Netzwerke und Institutionen zusammenwirken?
Während des Apéros kann die internationale Fotoausstellung des Rainbow Cities Network besichtigt werden, zu der auch die Stadt Bern ein Bild beigetragen hat. Ein Büchertisch von Queerbooks bietet zusätzliche Perspektiven auf queere Sichtbarkeit und Engagement.
A landmark pan-African exhibition opens at the Goethe-Institut Johannesburg (119 Jan Smuts Avenue, Parkwood) on 21 May 2026, 16:00–22:00, official opening at 18:00. Curated by filmmaker and author Renaldo Schwarp to commemorate IDAHOBIT 2026, the exhibition brings together queer artists from 22 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa — including countries where being openly queer carries very real legal and social consequences. Over 250 creatives responded to the open call. Media include visual art, performance, drag, music and interactive works. The exhibition explores how language and imagery have shaped queer identities, and how artists are reclaiming these tools. Free entry.

Queeres Leben findet nicht nur in den Städten statt – es ist immer hier. Die Veranstaltung widmet sich den Erfahrungen und Lebensrealitäten les- bischer, schwuler, bisexueller, trans*, queerer und allen weiteren Menschen aus der LSBTQIA+ Gemeinschaft in Südtirol. Vorgestellt wird das Oral-History-Projekt „Immer Hier“ von Martine De Biasi, in dem LSBTQIA+ Menschen aus ganz Südtirol ihre Lebensgeschichten erzählen; besonders im Fokus stehen ältere Generationen und Menschen aus ländlichen Regionen.
Außerdem werden Einblicke in den Sammelband „Frauen- Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte: Internationale Perspektiven und lokale Verortung“ präsentiert, der sich mit Frauen-, Geschlechter- und Queer-Geschichte im lokalen, kleinstädtischen und Südtiroler Kontext befasst. Ein Beitrag daraus diskutiert ein Forschungsprojekt zu frauenliebenden Frauen in Südtirol und eröffnet weitere Perspektiven auf regionale queere Geschichte.
Im Anschluss lädt eine Podiumsdiskussion mit Vertreter*innen unterschiedlicher Organisationen und Interviewpartner*innen des Projekts „Immer Hier“ dazu ein, über Herausforderungen, Handlungsspielräume und Zu- kunftsperspektiven queeren Lebens im ländlichen Raum ins Gespräch zu kommen.
Wir laden herzlich ein zu einem Abend des Zuhörens, Nachdenkens und Austauschs.
Zero is committed to giving queer communities the pen and mic to reclaim their own narratives for resilience, resistance, and health. This year, the Zero’s May Week of Action against Homophobia/Transphobia will occur May 18–22, 2026. Immediately following the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT, May 17).
IDAHOBIT’s 2026 theme, “At the Heart of Democracy,” reminding us that true democracy cannot exist when LGBTQ+ people are silenced, targeted, or disappeared. In solidarity, our Zero Campaign theme this year is “Our Pen, Our Mic”—a declaration that we refuse to be erased or stay silent in the face of such monstrous injustice.

Join us for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement.
To celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, please join the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, Friends of the High Line, and Outright International on May 19 for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement.
In New York, a city whose courage in 1969 at Stonewall inspired the global LGBTIQ movement, we understand the importance of protecting the rights that generations have fought for. Fortunately, there are lessons from around the world for us to draw upon. LGBTIQ activists in other countries have faced these conditions and worse before and survived them. The lessons from their experiences, strategies, and resiliencies are vital to learn from in a moment like this. Join us for a conversation about what it means to fight for LGBTIQ rights as a global community. In an increasingly globalized world, a setback anywhere weakens our movement everywhere, and a victory anywhere strengthens it too.
In the last decade, the progress that the LGBTIQ community has made has been astounding. However, these hard-fought successes were also noticed by those who oppose LGBTIQ rights. This global backlash to the LGBTIQ human rights movement has built vast international networks to coordinate their strategies and spread the same false narratives across borders. The attacks on the LGBTIQ community happening right here in the United States today are part of a global playbook, tested abroad and then imported back to places like New York when the opposition saw an opening.
At the event, U.S. Drag Activist Marti Gould Cummings and Iraqi Activist and Attorney Amir Ashour will join global LGBTIQ movement leader and Outright Executive Director Maria Sjödin, whose career includes leading the largest LGBTIQ organization in Sweden, RFSL, in conversation. They will discuss the global nature of the struggle for LGBTIQ rights and the need for those who advocate for LGBTIQ rights in New York City to support the fights for rights everywhere. The speakers will discuss what transnational movement-building looks like in practice and what we can learn from one another in an increasingly challenging political moment.

Digital technologies increasingly shape how LGBTIQ+ people express themselves, organise politically and access services. Yet these same technologies can expose communities to discrimination, profiling, surveillance and exclusion. This edition of the Digital Rights Lounge explores the intersection between digital rights and LGBTIQ+ rights, bringing together activists, researchers and policymakers to discuss how digital infrastructures affect queer lives and what can be done to effectively protect rights in the digital age.
oin us this IDAHOBIT 2026 for an important regional conversation:

The 2026 European IDAHOT+ Forum is co-hosted by the Government of Denmark, the Nordic Council of Ministers, and the Council of Europe to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOT+)
The Forum will address emerging challenges and opportunities for advancing SOGIESC equality across Europe, focusing on strategies to counter the rise of anti-LGBTI narratives and protect existing gains. Discussions will also highlight the implementation of national and regional action plans aimed at combatting discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics.
As in previous editions, European LGBTI civil society organisations will present their annual maps and indexes, offering a comprehensive overview of LGBTI rights in Europe. The Forum will also feature discussions on promoting inclusive practices in sport, addressing intersecting forms of discrimination, and strengthening legal protections for LBTIQ+ women.
The exhibition on homosexuality and trans* identity aims to break down barriers and raise awareness. Twelve roll-up displays provide visitors with information on the history of homosexuality: Until when were homosexual acts criminalized in Germany? What do the colors of the rainbow flag represent? What do penguins have to do with homosexuality? A wealth of interesting, sad, but also humorous information has been visualized in an entertaining way. The exhibition makes it clear that history is not a linear progression. Its images depict a constant ebb and flow—and serve as a reminder that today’s status quo cannot be taken for granted.
Tuesday, May 19 2026 – Wednesday, June 03 2026
Time: daily from 8:00 am to 6 pm
To mark the start of the exhibition, the Catholic University Community KHG Saarbrücken and the Diversity Office are hosting an opening event on May 19, from 4 to 6 pm

With our modest team and capabilities, M-Coalition published an online campaign raising a voice against homophobia+ as well as its enablers such as colonialism and capitalism. As our region continues to be ravished by conflicted inflicted by the US and Israel continuing patterns of colonialism and destruction, today we revolt, and we use our street language to say FCK homophobia, FCK l’homophobie and in our tongue ك س م الهوموفوبيا
We intentionally used street language, passing under META radar through missing vowels and irregular text spacing (arabic) the colonizer who brought homophobia into our communities understands only street language, and we are here to stand our ground
The song we used is also a very popular underground song, where the singer asks her lover that they elope, in our case it was a perfect match: “Baby, would you like us to get married in secret, and go live away from everyone…”
The Idahobit Celebration Market is a celebration of pride, power and possibility with Community.

🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ АЙДАХОБИТ-2026: “Ардчиллын зүрхэнд” гэрэл зургийн үзэсгэлэн нээлтээ хийнэ
Жил бүрийн 5 дугаар сарын 17-ны өдрийг дэлхий нийтэд АЙДАХОБИТ буюу гомофоби, бифоби, трансфобийн эсрэг олон улсын өдөр болгон тэмдэглэдэг уламжлалтай. Энэ жил тус өдрийг “Ардчиллын зүрхэнд” уриан дор дэлхий даяар тэмдэглэн өнгөрүүлж байна.
Энэхүү өдрийг тохиолдуулан ЛГБТ Төв-өөс хэрэгжүүлдэг “Эрхийн төлөө урлаг” санаачлагын хүрээнд гэрэл зургийн үзэсгэлэнг 2026 оны 5 дугаар сарын 15-28-ны хооронд Хөх Нар Сав спейс-д зохион байгуулах гэж байна. Үзэсгэлэнгийн нээлт 2026 оны 5 дугаар сарын 15-ний өдрийн 18:00 цагт болно.
“Эрхийн төлөө урлаг” санаачлага нь урлагаар дамжуулан хүний эрхийн ойлголтыг түгээх, ЛГБТИК+ сэдвийн хүрээнд уран бүтээлчдийг дэмжих, күийр уран бүтээлчдэд зориулсан орон зайг бий болгох зорилготой юм. Уран бүтээл нь нийгэм, улс төр, соёлын бодит байдлыг шүүмжлэн харуулахын зэрэгцээ эерэг өөрчлөлтийг уриалах, хайр ба бахархлыг түгээх хүчирхэг хэрэгсэл билээ.
АЙДАХОБИТ өдрийн түүхээс дурдвал, 1990 оны 5 дугаар сарын 17-нд Дэлхийн эрүүл мэндийн байгууллага ижил хүйсийн бэлгийн чиг баримжааг сэтгэцийн эмгэгийн жагсаалтаас албан ёсоор хассан нь ЛГБТИК+ хөдөлгөөний хувьд онцгой ач холбогдолтой үйл явдал болсон. Улмаар 2004 онд Нэгдсэн Үндэстний Байгууллага-аас энэхүү өдрийг хүний эрхийн тэмдэглэлт өдөр болгон хүлээн зөвшөөрч, дэлхий даяар тэмдэглэдэг болсон юм.
Монгол Улсад 2011 оноос эхлэн АЙДАХОБИТ-ыг тэмдэглэж ирсэн бөгөөд энэ хүрээнд олон нийтэд бэлгийн чиг баримжаа, хүйсийн баримжаа, илэрхийллийн талаар шинжлэх ухаанд суурилсан үнэн бодит мэдээлэл түгээх, хүний эрхийг хүндэтгэх соёлыг төлөвшүүлэхэд чиглэсэн олон талт үйл ажиллагааг зохион байгуулж байна.
Тус үзэсгэлэн нь орчин үеийн гэрэл зургийн олон төрөл, жанрыг хамарч, ЛГБТИК+ хүмүүсийн амьдрал, туршлага, дуу хоолойг урлагаар илэрхийлсэн бүтээлүүдийг олон нийтэд хүргэх болно. Уг үзэсгэлэнд нийт 80 гаруй бүтээл ирснээс шалгарсан 65 бүтээлүүдийг үзэсгэлэнгийн үеэр дэлгэн үзүүлэхээс гадна “Прайд” сэтгүүл болон үзэсгэлэнгийн каталоги хэвлэлд багтаан нийтлэх юм.
Энэхүү үзэсгэлэн нь урлаг, хүний эрх, ардчиллын үнэ цэнийг нэгтгэн харуулах, олон нийтэд ойлголт, мэдрэмж, харилцан хүндлэлийг түгээх чухал ач холбогдолтой арга хэмжээ болно.
📆Үзэсгэлэнгийн хуваарь: 05 сарын 15-28-ны хооронд 11:00-19:00 цагийн хооронд, таксгүй.
Үзэсгэлэнгийн нээлт: 05 сарын 15-нд

IDAHOBIT-2026: ‘In the Heart of Democracy’ photography exhibition to open
Every year, 17 May is observed worldwide as the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. This year, the day is being observed worldwide under the slogan ‘In the Heart of Democracy.’
To mark this day, as part of the LGBT Centre’s ‘Art for Rights’ initiative, a photography exhibition will be held at Hөх Нар Сав Space from 15 to 28 May 2026. The exhibition opening will take place on 15 May 2026 at 18:00.
The ‘Art for Rights’ initiative aims to promote the understanding of human rights through art, support artists on LGBTQI+ themes, and create a space for queer artists. Art is a powerful tool that not only critiques social, political and cultural realities but also calls for positive change and spreads love and pride.
To cite the history of AIDAHOBIT Day, on 17 May 1990 —when the World Health Organisation officially removed same-sex orientation from its list of mental disorders—was a particularly significant event for the LGBTQI+ movement. Subsequently, in 2004 the United Nations recognised this day as a human rights day, and it has been celebrated worldwide.
In Mongolia, IDAHOBIT has been celebrated since 2011, and within this framework, science-based, factual information about sexual orientation, gender identity and expression is disseminated to the public, organising multifaceted activities aimed at fostering a culture of respect for human rights.
The exhibition will encompass various forms and genres of contemporary photography, bringing to the public works that express the lives, experiences, and voices of LGBTQI+ people through art. Of the more than 80 works submitted, 65 have been selected to be exhibited, and will also be featured in Pride magazine and the exhibition catalogue.
This exhibition will be a significant event, uniting the values of art, human rights and democracy, and fostering understanding, empathy and mutual respect among the public.
Exhibition hours: 15th–28th May, 11:00–19:00. Admission free.
Exhibition opening: 15th May
Where: SAV Art GalleryFrom 18:00
APCOM will be organizing IDAHOBIT 2026 from 15–18 May 2026 at SCBX NEXT Tech, 4th floor, Siam Paragon. Under the theme “At the Heart of Democracy”, the event will bring together diverse stakeholders from across the region—including civil society, development partners, and the private sector—to engage in dialogues, showcase creative expressions, and strengthen collaboration in advancing LGBTQI+ rights, inclusion, and human rights.
An Amnesty International-led campaign titled “#ResistWithPride” running from 17 May to 31 July 2026. The main themes are: myth-busting of anti-LGBTI+ narratives, and reflecting the diversity ad inclusivity of “family”.
