This type of gender-based violence is known as homophobic bullying. Homophobic bullying has been found to reduce school attendance, and lead to early school dropout and poorer academic performance and achievement. It can also adversely affect the mental and psychological health of those who are bullied, with clear associations between homophobic bullying at school and depression, anxiety, loss of esteem and confidence, withdrawal, social isolation, and in severe cases, suicidal ideation. On the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO), 17 May 2012, UNESCO is joining in activities around the world on the theme of “Combating Homophobia In and Through Education.” UNESCO’s Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau for Education has produced a short film highlighting the challenges faced by LGBT students and practical steps that have been taken in schools in Thailand to promote healthy, safe learning environments for all.

    This meeting is a follow-up to a consultation convened by UNESCO in Brazil in December 2011, and is reflective of UNESCO’s commitment in pioneering a response to the hither-to inadequately addressed global issue of homophobic bullying in educational institutions. The meeting will bring together a broad range of stakeholders including governments, multilateral and civil society orgenizations as well as media. UNESCO provides live video transmission, with interpretation in English and French. These links are available from 13.00 Paris time on 16 May. The Good Policy and Practice in HIV and Health Education – Booklet 8: Education Sector Responses to Homophobic Bullying (GPP8), will be launched at the meeting. The publication highlights the issue’s impediment to the principles and goals of Education for All and connects with UNESCO’s continuing engagement with stopping violence in schools, its work to address all forms of discrimination and gender-based violence, and its expertise in HIV and sexuality education.
