SUMMARY:Zero Discrimination Day
DESCRIPTION:On Zero Discrimination Day this year\, under the theme “Save lives: Decriminalise”\, UNAIDS is highlighting how the decriminalisation of key populations and people living with HIV saves lives and helps advance the end of the AIDS pandemic. \nCriminal laws targeting key populations and people living with HIV violate people’s human rights\, exacerbate the stigma people face and put people in danger by creating barriers to the support and services they need to protect their health. \nIn 2021\, the world set ambitious law reform targets to remove criminal laws that are undermining the HIV response and leaving key populations behind. Recognising decriminalization as a critical element in the response\, countries made a commitment that by 2025 less than 10% of countries would have punitive legal and policy environments that affect the HIV response. \nHowever\, despite some encouraging reforms\, the world is far from achieving the target. In fact\, today there are 134 countries explicitly criminalising or otherwise prosecuting HIV exposure\, non-disclosure or transmission; 20 countries criminalise and/or prosecute transgender persons; 153 countries criminalise at least one aspect of sex work; and 67 countries now criminalize consensual same-sex sexual activity\, according to UNAIDS. In addition\, 48 countries still place restrictions on entry into their territory for people living with HIV\, while 53 countries report that they require mandatory HIV testing\, for example for marriage certificates or for performing certain professions. 106 countries report requiring parental consent for adolescents to access HIV testing. \nCriminalisation drives discrimination and structural inequalities. It robs people of the prospect of healthy and fulfilling lives. And it holds back the end of AIDS. \nWe must end criminalisation to save lives.

SUMMARY:Bisexual Health Awareness Month
DESCRIPTION:Every March\, we come together as a community for Bisexual+ Health Awareness Month to raise awareness and bring attention to the disparities facing the bi+ community when it comes to health and health care spaces. HRC is again proud to support the Bisexual Resource Center\, which founded Bi+ Health Month\, and organizations across the country to observe the eighth annual #BiHealthMonth this March. This year’s theme of “Equity” further highlights the importance of looking at our work with careful attention to the intersectional disparities that impact the most vulnerable among us. \nAccording to new data from Gallup\, over half of LGBT adults (54.6%) are bisexual\, with another 3.3% describing their sexual orientation as non-monosexual with terms such as queer and same-gender-loving. This means that 57.9% of the LGBTQ community is bi+ (bisexual\, pansexual\, queer\, fluid or another non-monosexual identity).

SUMMARY:International Transgender Day of Visibility
DESCRIPTION:Each year on March 31\, we honor International Transgender Day of Visibility! \nWe will be appearing in person at SUNY Plattsburgh on March 31st in the Angell College Center as we celebrate the joy and resilience of trans and non-binary people everywhere by elevating voices and experiences from these communities. \nThere are over 1.6 million trans\, non-binary and gender-expansive youth (age 13+) and adults across the United States. We are parents and family members. We are your coworkers\, your neighbors and your friends. We are a diverse community\, representing all racial and ethnic backgrounds as well as all faith traditions. \nWhile we have made significant progress in recent years\, with more visibility than ever before\, we are still fighting for basic human rights for the community. Today we are experiencing significant political attacks by extremists legislating hate in the states and in Congress. We also face an ongoing epidemic of fatal violence\, especially against Black and Brown trans women. \nToday and every day\, we must celebrate all trans and non-binary people everywhere and combat disinformation\, discrimination and hate impacting our community.
