IDAHOT Report 2016: South Korea

In Seoul, Rainbow Action Against Sexual-Minority Discrimination held a special event to mark IDAHOT 2016 with the slogan “Against the hate, sing the equality and spread the rainbow!”
The event also included a press statement issued on the problem of discrimination in South Korea (with a focus on transphobic issues), as well as a press conference and social media campaign. Outside of the internet a flashmob and choral performance was held at the Sejong Centre on May 14.
While also raising awareness of LGBT discrimination in South Korea, the event aimed to engage the general public in important issues. The entire campaign has also helped foster a significant amount of public discourse on national issues of LGBT discrimination through social media and other public spaces.
