Members’ meeting in Stockholm: LGBTQI at work – feeling safe as opposition grows

Welcome to the members’ meet-up in Stockholm on 5 November!

For event details in English, please follow this link.

Welcome to a get-together where we take a closer look at how employers can create a sense of security for their staff whilst helping to combat negative attitudes towards LGBTQI people in society. Here, you’ll also have the chance to meet others who are working on the same issues and want to take the next step in their work.

Attitudes towards LGBTQI people have deteriorated amongst young people, according to the Forum for Living History’s attitude survey. At the same time, RFSL’s safety survey shows that LGBTQI people experience significantly greater insecurity both in the workplace and in public spaces than the general population. The growing backlash against LGBTQI rights is therefore placing new and increasingly demanding requirements on employers.

As a starting point, we draw on the knowledge we have gained from our Learning Fridays on 23 October, when we will hear from experts, lobbyists and members on how we can take practical action.
