Sometimes you need to use some markers and poster board to be heard! Proud to be involved with this demonstration at #wlic2023 #WLICWOW moment for sure! Awful decision to host @iflawlic in Dubai next year. Librarians do not stand with censorship. @QLAIreland @ifla_lgbtq
Back from holiday to this news. Appalled, but unsurprised. I'd strongly suggest to any LGBTQ+ (or LGBTQ+ allies) colleagues to have nothing to do with @IFLA in the future. They are obviously not interested in our voices, so I don't think they should benefit from out expertise.

Very disappointing - certainly not representative. I've withdrawn my participation in IFLA 2023 in protest for this reason.

@IFLA You definitely are NOT the global voice of the library and information profession if you cannot stand with LGBTQIA+ people
"68% of our membership disagreed with our decision to hold #WLIC2024 in Dubai, so we've decided to do it anyway." 🤨

We are appalled by @IFLA's minority and massively unpopular decision to alienate and exclude all queer library staff and presentations on queer topics. We encourage and hope all library professionals do not attend the conference in Dubai. We certainly will not.

Amigos hispanohablantes, no sé si estáis al tanto. La IFLA anuncia el próximo Congreso en Dubai. La comunidad bibliotecaria alerta de la ausencia de derechos humanos y rectifican proponiendo una votación. El 27% vota a favor de Dubai. Qué hace la @IFLA ? Ratifica que será allí.
A IFLA resolveu abrir uma consulta junto a seus membros sobre a polêmica do Congresso em Dubai em 2024. Resultado saiu hoje e 68% votou CONTRA. Mas a IFLA continuará com a decisão de levar o Congresso para Dubai. 🤡 ifla.org/news/gb-decide…

Wow couldn’t really get much worse could it.
In the light of IFLA ignoring the results of their advisory referendum and going ahead with their conference in Dubai (ifla.org/news/gb-decide…), we would like to re-share our statement:
The @IFLA Governing Board's decision to double down on this mistake despite overwhelming opposition from its membership is both disappointing and troubling.
In the light of IFLA ignoring the results of their advisory referendum and going ahead with their conference in Dubai (ifla.org/news/gb-decide…), we would like to re-share our statement:
Beyond disappointed, especially after 68% of IFLA members voted against this outcome. As a member, I will be standing by the @LAIonline’s recommendation to boycott the 2024 conference
After careful consideration of feedback received from its members and volunteers around the world, the IFLA Governing Board 2021-23 has reaffirmed its decision to hold the 2024 World Library and Information Congress in Dubai. #WLIC2024 The full statement bit.ly/43ZkYTG
#IFLA "Please vote on our outrageous decision, this is something members should vote on". "The outcome of the vote is overwhelming against us, so we've decided not to listen to you." When you think the IFLA directors and GB couldn't sink any lower, they find a way.
Oh wow. Maybe David Cameron should have taken his lead from IFLA on how to run an advisory referendum. We would still be in the EU, even if it had gone two thirds for leave.

Looks like most feedback was against this decision? But then think of the money. Sad times @IFLA

Not surprising but still disappointing - x.com/ifla/status/16… - and you have to wonder at the brass neck of statements like 'we will be making diversity and inclusion a central theme of the Congress'.

We held a vote. The majority of people voted against holding #WLIC2024 in Dubai. We choose to ignore the results & will hold it there anyway, despite censorship of topics that can be discussed & people who can be served. Interesting choice by @IFLA & this delegate will not attend
