Governments\u00a0in this region have been slow to adopt\u00a0reforms,\u00a0and\u00a0in\u00a0some cases, have actively curtailed LGBTQIA+ rights. For\u00a0instance,\u00a0russia&#8217;s\u00a0&#8220;gay propaganda&#8221;\u00a0law, enacted in 2013, prohibits the distribution of information about LGBTQIA+ issues to minors, effectively silencing advocacy and increasing stigma.

The legislative initiative would also ban same-sex marriage, sex reassignment and adoption of children by same-sex couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, there have been positive strides.

This\u00a0day serves to coordinate global efforts to raise awareness about the ongoing violations of LGBTQIA+ rights and to promote actions aimed at their protection. The\u00a0date commemorates\u00a0the removal of homosexuality from the International Classification of Diseases by the World Health\u00a0Organization on May 17, 1990. And\u00a0since 2004, IDAHOBIT has been a crucial platform for highlighting the discrimination and violence faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals globally.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/united-for-equality-idahobit\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/united-for-equality-idahobit\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/united-for-equality-idahobit\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"\u0413\u043b\u0430\u0432\u043d\u0430\u044f","item":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"News","item":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/category\/news\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"United for\u00a0equality: IDAHOBIT and the\u00a0struggle for LGBTQIA+\u00a0rights in Eastern Europe and Central Asia"}]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/#\/schema\/person\/13938bed4f61f65cf69956f761f434c4","name":"velyunsky","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/563311067d0cffb8e52b02ac68d23353?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/563311067d0cffb8e52b02ac68d23353?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"velyunsky"},"url":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/author\/velyunsky\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18504"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18504"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18513,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18504\/revisions\/18513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18501"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
