Hundreds of organisations engage in activities around the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia ! Support them !
Next to the big events at the United Nations or the European Parliament, there are also countless events smaller in size, but just as significant at the local levels : In many places, especially where homosexuality is criminalised and can get members of sexual and gender minorities in jail for up to lifetime, activists deploy an immense courage to fight for their rights.
The IDAHO Committee has set up a special fund to support activities at grassroots level, through our unique network of more than 300 local activists and organisations. This fund is supervised by our board and is audited by an independent financial control agency.
Each donor will receive specific information about the use of the donation and regular updates on the activities of our partners around the world.
Your contribution, big or small, can make a huge difference. For very little money, organisations achieve breakthrough advances in public opinion shift, policy changes, media coverage, etc...
Please donate generously as a consideration that all members of sexual and gender minorities around the world also deserve the freedom which we enjoy in progressive societies
