A positive message about homophobia produced by Ernest South Africa.

UK charity, Stonewall has launched its new plain English guide for victims of anti-gay hate crime. “Blow the Whistle on Gay Hate” explains what homophobic hate crime is, why hate crime should be reported and what to say when reporting it. Check-out the guide here!

The AVP will review this important guide with a view to contextualise it for the community here in Victoria. If you want to be part of the review process contact the AVP by clicking here or call 0407664442.

International Day Against Homophobia is coming

Today around 80 countries in the world still criminalise homosexuality and condemn consensual same-sex acts with imprisonment. Of these, nine (Afghanistan, Iran, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates and Yemen) still have the death penalty. Discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation and gender identity is still not recognised formally by the member states of the United Nations (even though human rights mechanisms such as the Human Rights Committee have repeatedly condemned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity).
