# The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia is commemorating the World Health Organisation’s decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder, 35 years on. Today, on 17th May, policymakers, media, and the public are urged to fight violence and discrimination against LGBTQ persons. Running under the theme “The Power of Communities,” it seeks to highlights the vital role of collective action in building inclusive, diverse societies that uphold equity and dignity for all.
