«Diversity is about all of us, and about us having to figure out how to walk through this world together.»
Jacqueline Woodson.
Happy International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia from our School, where we’re very proud of our diverse environment. Walk tall, our friends!

The principle of equality and non-discrimination is a fundamental element in the protection of human rights. It is guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights (article 14) and was reinforced by Protocol No.12 to the Convention, which in a general manner, provides that no-one shall be discriminated against on any ground by any public authority.
Homophobic acts which have occurred in several states unhappily point to systematic violation of the fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people (LGBTI). These occurrences have also shown that in many cases such injustice is condoned and sometimes even actively supported by the very authorities whose strict duty it is to protect their citizens against all discrimination.
