This year, the focus of the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) young people.
UNESCO’s activities focus on homophobic and transphobic bullying in education and build on its broader work on preventing and addressing discrimination and violence in schools, including gender-based violence. The project will conclude in 2016 with an international high-level meeting of Ministers of Education at UNESCO headquarters. The aim of the meeting will be to catalyze responses by Member States to homophobic and transphobic bullying in educational institutions.
