May 17: mobilized together against LGBT-phobia

A real public space, public transport in the Ile-de-France region accounts for more than 9 million daily trips.

On 17 May 2025, on the occasion of the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, Île-de-France Mobilités, the Île-de-France Region, RATP and SNCF are joining forces to remind everyone of the importance of respect for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation.

Transport is open to all and must remain a space of freedom allowing everyone to travel without fear.

The fight against LGBT-phobia is 365 days a year

This campaign is one of the many initiatives carried out throughout the region with the implementation of actions in favor of respect for diversity.

For example, reception and security agents are trained to deal with situations of incivility, whatever form they take, and to intervene to protect passengers.

RATP and SNCF have trained their operational teams in the challenges of diversity and non-discrimination in a fun and educational way.

Île-de-France Mobilités, as the organising authority for sustainable mobility, is committed to relaying and financing the campaign to combat homophobia and transphobia throughout the Île-de-France transport network.

The region, a committed player in the fight against homophie

These actions support the measures put in place by the Region to combat homophobia and all forms of discrimination:

• support for associations, with a call for projects to support associations committed to the fight against homophobia, such as SOS Homophobie, Ravad (The Assistance Network for Victims of Aggression and Discrimination) or Le Refuge, which welcomes young people who are isolated and rejected by their families following the announcement of their homosexuality;
• support for events, such as the Pride March, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019;
• raising awareness among young people, in particular with the Regional Centre for Information and Prevention of AIDS and for Youth Health, which offers a selection of tools to address homosexuality and prevent homophobia among more than 120,000 teenagers in the Ile-de-France region.
