Stand up! Don't stand for homophobic bullying

Check out BeLonGTo's campaign and video.

Many LGBT people live in supportive communities where they can develop and grow, but others face discrimination and alienation from family, friends and even official institutions like schools.

Stand Up! Week exists to raise awareness of and support for such people who are battling with homophobic attitudes and actions in their communities.

When: The next Stand Up! Week will be 5 – 11 March 2012, and will take place in schools and youth services around Ireland. 

During Stand Up! Week, youth workers and teachers will offer all young people who participate in their centre/school the opportunity to participate in fun and educational activities. These will increase awareness, build supportive links among young people and reduce the incidence of bullying and name-calling. The Educational Pack for Stand Up! Week will include a poster, DVD and activities for each youth centre and school and stickers for young people.

How you can offer your support: Add a twibbon to your Facebook or twitter profile.
