SUMMARY:IDAHOBIT 2026: “At the Heart of Democracy” – The Journey from Amsterdam to Bangkok
DESCRIPTION:The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands\, in collaboration with APCOM Foundation\, Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB)\, Bangkok Pride\, GIRLxGIRL\, SCBX Next Tech\, Baturu\, and the Rights and Liberty Protection Department\, today officially launched IDAHOBIT 2026: “At the Heart of Democracy” – The Journey from Amsterdam to Bangkok. \nThis landmark initiative highlights the global journey toward equality and inclusion\, connecting Amsterdam and Bangkok through a shared commitment to human rights\, dignity\, and diversity. \nThe programme will take place from 15–18 May 2026 at SCBX Next Tech\, 4th Floor\, Siam Paragon\, Bangkok. \nThe event comes at a significant moment as Thailand marks the first anniversary of its Marriage Equality Law\, becoming the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize same-sex marriage\, while the Netherlands continues its global leadership as the first country in the world to have done so in 2001. \nAs part of the programme\, the Embassy of the Netherlands will present the internationally renowned Amsterdam Rainbow Dress\, a powerful 16-metre-wide artwork made from the flags of more than 60 countries where homosexuality remains criminalized. The installation serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by LGBTQI communities worldwide. \nAPCOM Foundation will also showcase the 10th anniversary of the HERO Awards\, highlighting outstanding HIV and LGBTQI advocates across Asia and the Pacific through a photo exhibition and regional dialogues\, including voices from countries where LGBTQI people continue to face criminalization.

SUMMARY:11th Rainbow Forum: Compliance or Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The Rainbow Forum is an important annual event in Armenia and the country’s largest queer activist gathering\, bringing together LGBT+ people and allies\, activists and human rights defenders\, professionals\, and parents. \nIn 2026\, we are once again organizing one of the most significant events of the LGBT+ movement — the 11th Rainbow Forum — under the theme: “Compliance or Resistance”. \nAs war\, repression\, and political instability continue to intensify across the world and the region\, safe spaces for LGBT+ people are increasingly threatened. Many are forced either to resist or to leave their countries in search of safety\, often arriving in Armenia. At the same time\, the upcoming elections in Armenia are accompanied by renewed waves of manipulation and growing anti-LGBT+ and anti-gender rhetoric targeting women\, trans\, non-binary\, and other non-heteronormative people\, as well as defenders of women’s and LGBT+ rights. \nThis year’s forum is about our response. \nThe Rainbow Forum creates a safe and inclusive platform where participants can raise issues that matter\, share experiences\, support one another\, and take part in conversations about meaningful change for the LGBT+ community in Armenia. It is also an opportunity to learn from experienced activists\, human rights defenders\, and allies who continue contributing to equality\, dignity\, and justice.
