Humanity in Action BiH supports the promotion of human rights throughout the world. There are many UN Member States to this very date that criminalize homosexuality, while in the vast number of other developed and less developed societies the LGBTQI people are constantly exposed to violence, as well as various other types of discrimination and exclusion. HIA BiH supports the fight against homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

The First Pride Parade to be held in one month, on September 8th, 2019 in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital, marks the fight for equality and nondiscrimination for all members of LGBTQI community, and their long-term struggle to fully attain their rights.
