Улмаар 2004 онд Нэгдсэн Үндэстний Байгууллага-аас энэхүү өдрийг хүний эрхийн тэмдэглэлт өдөр болгон хүлээн зөвшөөрч\, дэлхий даяар тэмдэглэдэг болсон юм.\nМонгол 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.\nТус үзэсгэлэн нь орчин үеийн гэрэл зургийн олон төрөл\, жанрыг хамарч\, ЛГБТИК+ хүмүүсийн амьдрал\, туршлага\, дуу хоолойг урлагаар илэрхийлсэн бүтээлүүдийг олон нийтэд хүргэх болно.

This year\, the day is being observed worldwide under the slogan ‘In the Heart of Democracy.’\nTo 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. \nThe ‘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.\nTo 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.\nIn 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.\nThe 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.\nThis 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. \nExhibition hours: 15th–28th May\, 11:00–19:00. Admission free.\nExhibition opening: 15th May\nWhere: SAV Art GalleryFrom 18:00

SUMMARY:Campaign FCK Homophobia
DESCRIPTION: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\nWe 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\nThe 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…”

SUMMARY:Exhibition "Queer"
DESCRIPTION: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.\nTuesday\, May 19 2026 – Wednesday\, June 03 2026\nTime: daily from 8:00 am to 6 pm\nTo 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\nProgram:\nMusical opening: Matthis Löw Harfe\nWelcome with a short talk on the topic “Queer and the Catholic Church”: Katrin Altmaier\, KHG Saarbrücken\nShort presentation on “IDAHOBITA”: Tamara Wagner\, Diversity Office\nMusical interlude\nReception: exploring the exhibition together while interacting

SUMMARY:The Fight Is Global: LGBTIQ Activists in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on progress (and backlash) within the LGBTIQ human rights movement. \nTo 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. \nIn 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. \nIn 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. \nAt 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.

SUMMARY:Queerer Aktivismus in Institutionen – Möglichkeiten und Grenzen
DESCRIPTION: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. \nInhaltliche Angaben zur Veranstaltung\nDer 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? \nWährend 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.
