SUMMARY:Online balloon launch
DESCRIPTION:Launch a Balloon Against Queerphobia! 🎈 \nToday\, May 17\, we mark the International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). It’s a day of solidarity\, support\, and protest against discrimination and violence targeting LGBTQ+ people. Around the world\, this day is traditionally commemorated with actions like mass balloon launches — a symbol of freedom\, hope\, and the fight for equality. \nRainbow balloon flash mobs in honor of IDAHOBIT took place as far back as 2009 — in Russia\, as well as in Ukraine and Armenia around the same time. \nBut now\, as we all know\, with increased repression and stricter laws in Russia\, this kind of action can no longer happen as it once did. In today’s Russia\, we can no longer take to the streets with colorful balloons. Still\, it’s important that all of us — not just LGBTQ+ people\, but also allies and everyone who believes in acceptance\, equality\, and nonviolence — have a chance to express protest and take a stand. \n🎈 Moscow Community Center of LGBTQ+ initiatives is launching a virtual IDAHOBIT — an online balloon release against homophobia\, biphobia\, and transphobia! This is our chance to come together\, to unite\, to be with each other even in unsafe times. We invite you to take part in this online action and launch your own balloon in support of equality\, acceptance\, and love. \n🎈 Launch your balloon here: https://mcclgbt.org/against_homophobia \n🕊 Participation is completely safe and anonymous. No login or registration is required — just click the button and become part of this meaningful event. You can take a stand and show your support without leaving your home. \n🎈 Join us! Launch a balloon\, launch hope and love — take a step toward a better world!

SUMMARY:Jensaniyat Launch | جنسانيات: Reimagining and Exploring Sexuality & Gender in Arabic Communities
DESCRIPTION:On May 17\, 2025\, the Jensaniyat initiative (Arabic: جنسانيات) will be officially launched. \nThe name Jensaniyat is the Arabic equivalent of “Sexuality”\, but it carries a nuanced and layered meaning within Arabic-speaking contexts. It refers to a broad and complex concept that extends beyond biological sex or sexual activity. In contemporary social sciences\, Jensaniyat encompasses several interrelated dimensions\, including: \n\nBiological sex (physical characteristics distinguishing males and females)\nGender identity (how individuals perceive themselves in terms of gender)\nGender roles (socially expected behaviors and roles for men and women)\nSexual orientation (emotional and sexual attraction)\nPleasure\, intimacy\, and desire\nExpressions\, behaviors\, values\, and beliefs related to sex and gender\nThe initiative is dedicated to raising awareness and providing educational content on topics such as gender\, gender identities\, reproductive and sexual health\, gender-based violence (GBV)\, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). One of its core goals is to localize and contextualize definitions and frameworks in ways that are accessible and relevant to Arabic-speaking communities.

SUMMARY:Cine Trava
DESCRIPTION:El jueves 15 de mayo a las 20 hs organizamos un encuentro con motivo del Dia de lucha contra la discriminación por Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género. En el encuentro veremos la película “Finlandia” y recordaremos la trayectoria y militancia de nuestras compañeras Soraya Corbalán y Mariana Alarcón. \nLa cita es en la biblioteca popular Crisálida en calle virgen de la Merced 431 de San Miguel de Tucumán \n*Finlandia* (2021). Marta es diseñadora y realiza un viaje a Oaxaca para documentarse. Su forma de apreciar la realidad y la visión de sí misma cambia cuando comienza a convivir con las muxes\, un colectivo que lucha por el reconocimiento de su género como un tipo más en la sociedad\, a la vez que combate con sus propias pasiones\, traumas y sentimientos escondidos. Un inesperado terremoto\, que sacude todas las emociones de la comunidad\, consigue finalmente que Marta y el espectador descubran el origen de su tormento.

SUMMARY:Promoting the digital inclusion of LGBTIQ+ people and ensuring their safety in hostile environments
DESCRIPTION:Join ILGA World and the Délégation Genève Ville Solidaire of the City of Geneva for an online event addressing how to promote the digital inclusion of LGBTIQ+ people and ensure their safety in hostile environment. \nThe event is part of the City of Geneva’s annual campaign against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, and Transphobia 2025. \nDigital spaces offer unprecedented opportunities for LGBTIQ+ people to connect\, advocate for their rights\, and build collective movements. However\, an estimated 2.6 billion people remain offline due to inadequate infrastructure\, high costs of devices\, and lack of accessible content. This exclusion is even more pronounced for LGBTIQ+ individuals\, particularly those facing intersecting oppression such as racialised\, indigenous and disabled individuals to name a few. \nYet\, digital spaces can also expose activists and community members to cyber-harassment\, blackmail\, and intrusive surveillance\, especially in regions where discriminatory laws target LGBTIQ+ individuals. \nThis panel will present the research and work done by three international organisations on the challenges of digital exclusion and dangers faced by LGBTIQ+ individuals in different areas of the world. \nRoundtable guests: \n\nShreshtha Das (they/them) – Researcher/Advisor on Gender\, Gender\, Racial Justice\, Refugees and Migrants Rights Programme at Amnesty International\nDaniele Paletta (he/him) – Communications Manager at ILGA World\nRasha Younes (she/her) – Interim Director\, LGBT Rights Program at Human Rights Watch\nDr Hazbi Avdiji (they/them\, moderator) – Lecturer on Diversity in the Digital Age at the Haute École de Gestion de Genéve
