Every year, Kortrijk organizes a citywide event during the third weekend of May. Different organizations collaborate to transform the entire city into a large-scale event. This year, in light of IDAHOT, we experimented with a physical reporting point and educational posters about the bystander effect. Research shows that LGBTQIA+ people are at a higher risk for this type of violence, so we made a concerted effort to spread information about the reporting point within these communities by working together with different organizations.
