Today, a group of allies and LGBTQIA+ staff of the Council of Europe and Permanent Representations symbolically marked the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia that is celebrated annually on 17 May. Colleagues and friends joined in front of the Palais de l'Europe building to form a giant rainbow through a group photo, symbolically showing their support to the community and acting as defenders and promoters of the Organisations' values of respect for human rights, inclusion and equality.
