Commemorating IDAHOTB: The World Bank Group, Gender Equality, and LGBTI+ Inclusion

GO TO: SPEAKERS 

Join the World Bank to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOTB). This event raises awareness of the discrimination and exclusion that sexual and gender minorities face in our client countries. Discrimination based on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) has negative impacts on development outcomes and fuels the exclusion of sexual and gender minorities, creating barriers to accessing markets, services, and spaces. The event is an opportunity to learn about the links between gender equality and the inclusion of sexual and gender minorities in World Bank projects and analytics.
