🌟 ¡Celebrando la Semana de la Salud Pública! 🌟

La salud pública es cómo nos cuidamos unos/as a otros/as. Es aire y agua limpia, acceso a médicos y medicamentos, hogares y lugares de trabajo seguros, y datos confiables para atender las necesidades de la comunidad. Los sistemas sólidos de salud pública ponen la equidad en el centro, asegurando que todas las personas tengan la oportunidad de vivir vidas saludables y plenas.

Aquí, en el sur de Oregon, los socios locales de salud pública y las organizaciones comunitarias trabajan juntos/as para mantener nuestras comunidades seguras, saludables y prósperas. Invertir en salud pública es invertir en todos/as nosotros/as.

Here in Southern Oregon, local public health partners and community organizations work together to keep our communities safe, healthy, and thriving. Investing in public health is investing in all of us.

Every year on 17 May, communities in over 155 countries and territories gather, create, and demonstrate – not because it is easy, but because it is necessary.

According to ILGA World’s database:

- 65 UN member States still criminalise consensual same-sex acts.
- at least 62 restrict freedom of expression on LGBTQIA+ issues
- legal gender recognition based on self-determination exists in only 18 countries at the national level
- only 9 UN member States restrict unnecessary medical interventions on intersex minors at the national level

This is why IDAHOBIT matters.

IDAHOBIT 2026 carries the theme “At the heart of democracy.” When communities come together to defend LGBTQIA+ rights, it strengthens democracy for everyone.

Today, March 31st, is International Trans Day of Visibility.

In an era of immense difficulty for the community, it can be hard to remember that Trans Day of Visibility is as much about positivity as it is about awareness and resistance.

The annual awareness day, which takes place on 31 March every year, was founded by activist Rachel Crandall Crocker as an alternative to the comparatively bleak awareness holidays dedicated to trans people, such as Trans Day of Remembrance.

Democracy means everyone can live with dignity, participate in their communities, and be protected by the laws that govern them. Trans people are at the heart of shaping that promise.

Through organising, advocacy, and everyday acts of visibility and resistance, trans communities continue to demand our systems to be just, inclusive, and accountable to everyone.

Yet, all around the world, anti-rights governments and actors are instrumentalising trans lives to advance their authoritarian agendas. They stoke fear around trans communities and exploit that division to justify censorship, restrict freedoms, and weaken the democratic norms meant to protect us all. These are the same forces attacking abortion rights, bodily autonomy, gender justice, and the rights of women, girls, and marginalised communities.

Attacks on trans people’s rights are rarely isolated – they are often part of a broader effort to expand state control, normalise repression, and weaken freedoms that affect everyone.

Trans people’s rights are at the heart of democracy. As trans communities face rising stigma, discrimination, and violence, we reaffirm our solidarity, care, and commitment to their rights, work, and leadership.
