Media Coverage - information
We currently are developing our capacity to monitor the media. We cannot possibly monitor the hundreds of articles which cover individual events which are taken on the Day. This section aims at bringing information about the Day as a whole, and about the IDAHO Committee, the organisation promoting the Day.
If you want to share any such articles, please send them to media@dayagainsthomophobia.org
