UN celebrates May 17th and draws attention to violence

New laws are codifying old prejudices, exploiting fears and fueling hatred, says the organization

The United Nations (UN) published this Friday, May 17, a message celebrating the International Day to Combat Homophobia – but also drawing attention to the fact that some steps back were also taken around the world.

“On this International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, I salute the courageous work of human rights defenders of LGBTIQ+ people who fight to end discrimination and guarantee equality before the law,” said António Guterres, secretary-general of United Nations.

According to his message, “however, there is a worrying trend in the opposite direction. New laws are codifying old prejudices, exploiting fears and fueling hatred. The criminalization of same-sex relationships must end, just as all violence, discrimination and harmful practices against LGBTIQ+ communities”.

The secretary-general also assured that “on this day and every other day, we will commit to building a world of respect, dignity and human rights for everyone around the world.”
