Virtual event
Launch of the ILO document “Inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ+) persons in the world of work: A learning guide”
LGBTIQ+ persons face inequality, discrimination and violence and harassment on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics, everywhere, including in the world of work. They face discrimination in finding jobs and throughout the employment cycle.
To contribute to the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ persons in the world of work the ILO has developed a learning guide aimed at representatives of governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations and other relevant stakeholders. The guide should help in the process of identifying and designing tailor-made local responses to ensure equal opportunities and treatment for LGBTIQ+ persons at work.
Mr Guy Ryder, ILO Director General
Ms Yolanda Díaz, Second Vice-President and Minister of Labour and Social Economy, Spain
A tripartite panel discussion involving world of work actors will share experiences, discuss the way forward and explore the usefulness of the learning guide.
High level interactive dialogue on engaging LGBTIQ+ persons in the world of work
Tripartite panel discussion on sharing good practices, the way forward and the learning guide
Closing remarks and vote of thanks
