Established in 2004\, it marks the 1990 declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder by the WHO. \nMarking IDAHOBIT in Fiji is essential in addressing the persistent stigma\, discrimination\, and exclusion faced by LGBTIQA+ individuals despite legal protections. While Fiji’s Constitution prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity\, societal attitudes remain deeply influenced by conservative religious and traditional norms\, often leading to marginalisation in families\, workplaces and public spaces. Many Fijians of diverse SOGIESC struggle with limited access to safe spaces\, mental health support\, and economic opportunities\, making community-led initiatives crucial for fostering inclusion and acceptance. \nThe 2025 theme\, “The Power of Communities”\, highlights the role of collective action in advancing equality and inclusion. It is especially relevant to Fiji\, where collective structures the Vanua (traditional communities)\, religious groups such as the mandali\, village women and youth clubs\, and grassroots structures- play a pivotal role in shaping societal attitudes and policies. Historically\, community mobilisation has driven change in climate justice and women’s rights\, demonstrating its potential to advance LGBTIQA+ rights and equality. Strengthening solidarity within these spaces can challenge prejudice\, promote allyship\, and create lasting cultural shifts. By marking ODAHOBIT\, we raise awareness and visibility and empower communities to drive meaningful changes. \nOrganising partners \nIDAHOBIT 2025 is organised in partnership between Oceania Pride and the Trans Affirmative Action Guild (TAAG).\nOceania Pride was established in September 2009 as an LGBTIQA+ network for young people in Fiji. Over the years\, the focus of Oceania Pride has been on mental health\, queer spaces and Pride activities. The network has carried out digital media projects on acceptance and IDAHOBIT before. In 2024\, recognising the rise of the anti-gender movement and the need to mobilise resources effectively\, Oceania Pride was legally registered as a not-for-profit in Fiji under the Company’s Act 2015. In the past year\, Oceania Pride has also refined its focus and approach to working with minority communities within the SOGIESC movements complementing the work of its partners and allies. \nThe Trans Affirmative Action Guild (TAAG) is led and founded by Fijian vakasa\, sian and trans-diverse (VST+) folx during a gathering\, to celebrate Transgender Day of Remembrance (Nov 20) in 2022\, of like-minded individuals. As proud beings of multiple intersections\, we navigate life respecting humanity\, nurturing ecosystems\, and protecting indigeneity and ethnic and cultural diversity. We are completely and unapologetically community-centred\, mobilising and drawing all the inspiration of our programming from the needs of our VST+ constituents. Our YAVU is lined and strengthened with the fibres of the resilience seen\, heard\, read\, and expressed through our varying stories and lived experiences. \nBoth organisations are affiliates of various networks and organisations\, such as the Pacific Sexual and Gender Diversity Network (PSGDN) and the Rainbow Fiji Coalition. \nEvent objectives\nThe activity is proposed with the following objectives:\n1. Strengthen knowledge and awareness of LGBTIQA+ rights and inclusion in Fiji.\n2. Explore the role of communities in advancing equality and justice.\n3. Initiate discussions for the development of a national SOGIESC inclusion framework.\n4. Equip participants with advocacy\, leadership\, and community-building skills.\n5. Develop collective action plans for the Rainbow Fiji Coalition. \nExpected outcomes \nThe event is proposed with the following outcomes:\n1. Increased knowledge of LGBTIQA+ rights\, policies\, and advocacy strategies in Fiji.\n2. Strengthened networks and solidarity among activists and allies.\n3. Practical advocacy skills and action plans for community engagement.\n4. A stronger and more connected movement for LGBTIQA+ inclusion in Fiji.\n5. A more robust Rainbow Coalition Fiji. \nThis 3-day workshop ensures deep learning\, active participation\, and concrete action steps. \nTarget audience & facilitation partners \nThe 3-day IDAHOBIT workshop will bring together 25-30 participants from diverse backgrounds\, all playing key roles in advancing LGBTIQA+ rights and inclusion in Fiji. The primary participants include LGBTIQA+ activists\, youth leaders\, community organisers\, human rights defenders\, and allies who are actively engaged in advocacy\, policy reform\, and community-building. Their participation will strengthen solidarity and equip them with practical skills to drive change within their respective spaces. \nAdditionally\, the workshop will engage representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs)\, non-governmental organizations (NGOs)\, and human rights institutions working on gender equality\, social justice\, and inclusion. Their involvement will help integrate LGBTIQA+ advocacy into broader human rights and development agendas. \nRecognizing the influence of traditional and faith-based leaders\, efforts will be made to include progressive religious figures\, educators\, and community elders who can act as allies in shifting public attitudes and fostering acceptance. Media representatives and policymakers may also be invited to selected sessions to ensure that advocacy efforts reach wider audiences. \nThis multi-stakeholder approach ensures that the workshop not only strengthens the LGBTIQA+ movement but also builds broader societal support\, creating a more inclusive and accepting Fiji.

The project is a rejection of the attempts to dismiss\, defile or simply erase LGBTQIA+ people. It started from a need to process on a personal level the emotional impact of news reports of hate crime murders that became increasingly frequent during the Covid pandemic. It has continued in part because of the engagement of those in the community who have reacted positively and encouraged me to continue. \nI believe that hate crime and the manner in which authority and society respond to it act to create an environment of fear\, as well as the sense that LGBTQIA+ lives are disposable and shameful. In spite of this queer people continue to live openly in defiance of attempts to control or police them into compliance. The works are meant to celebrate the simultaneously incandescent and ordinary lives that have been lost\, as well as mourning\, they also are a refusal of the tendency to place the inflicted pain\, death and violence at the centre of how we remember them. \nThe project is also about visibility\, asking us who is deserving of commemoration and who we are content to erase\, sweep under the carpet. Many of these were create using photographs that were blurry or overly cropped\, and in some sense the accessibilty of photographs has dictated the choice of portraits. \nThe project consists of a series of portraits that evoke a sense of the sacred through references to spiritual iconography to create spaces for contemplation and stillness. There are currently three forms of the project that are ongoing. \nAn installation consisting of a 14 sided metal framework that holds 13 portraits that are hand painted on cast acrylic sheeting and act in a similar way to stained glass windows\, was first exhibited at the Spier Light Art Festival in 2021\, and later at the Kopano gathering. This installation included portaits of Nonhlanhla Kunene; Sphamandla Khoza; Motshidi Pascalina (Pasca); Kirvan Fortuin; Sam Mbatha; Buhle Poswa; Lindokuhle Mapu; Nare Mphela; Bonang Gaelae; Lonwabo Jack; Phelokazi Mqathana; Lindokuhle Cele; Liyabona Mabishi. \nA series of watercolour paintings on paper that aim to act as a commemorative archive. The watercolour paintings allow for a more responsive archive and will continue to evolve and grow in response to the environment as much as is possible.
