Each year, we mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) on 17 May.

Our university is a place of inclusion and belonging for all. We stand together against the continued discrimination, oppression and violence experienced by the global LGBTIQA+ community.

You can show your solidarity by talking about IDAHOBIT, wearing a rainbow and being an active ally.
