KB zal niet deelnemen aan internationaal #bibliotheek congres #wlic van #ifla in #Dubai 2024 vanwege uitsluiting #LHBTIQ+ werkgroep:

The French library organisations' statement regarding #IFLA organising #WLIC in Dubai 2024 is the strongest I've read so far, bringing up a broader range of issues than women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights (also important!), such as hyperconsumerism, real estate development and economic model.
The #IFLA should be fucking ashamed.
Not just because of their choice to hold the 2024 #WLIC in a place that threatens the safety of their #LGBTQIA members, but also because of their shamelessly craven attempt to justify that choice as "geographical #inclusion."
If you want to shield yourself from accusations of eurocentrism, Dubai is hardly your only option.
Human rights, IFLA... #WhichSideAreYouOn?
