Sunday 17 May is IDAHOBIT Day! Will you go rainbow? ๐ŸŒˆ

The International Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination (IDAHOBIT) marks 17 May 1990, when homosexuality was removed from the World Health Organisationโ€™s Classification of Diseases.

Go rainbow and create safer workplaces, school and communities. You can also borrow an LGBTIQA+ book from your local library: https://bit.ly/4uGWkF7

Each year for IDAHOBIT, Tasmaniaโ€™s Working It Out hosts the Dorothies Awards. This year, the Dorothies theme is Excellence in LGBTIQA+ Inclusion in Family and Sexual Violence Services & Programs.
