🚨🚨🚨Breaking News: Pharmaceutical Giant Genzyme Genetics , part of French Sanofi Group, implicated in a #landmark discrimination case in #Argentina. The National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia, and Racism (#INADI) in Argentina has identified a grave instance of sexual orientation discrimination. This involves the unjust termination of an expat Brazilian migrant father following his request for paternity leave, a clear violation of Law No. 23.592 against discriminatory practices. Challenges of Paternity and Workplace Bias: Despite company's stated policies of equal parental leave, this case highlights significant prejudice faced within the workplace. A Struggle for Justice and Equality: This incident underscores the ongoing challenges and discrimination #LGBTQ families continue to encounter, both in society and professionally, raising critical concerns all individuals and experts on DEI. #Pride365 #HumanRights #Familyrights #culture #policy #Workplace #sanofi #genzyme #Argentina #pharna

Earlier this month, I contributed an article to O Jornal Económico on the important of LGBTQ employees’ inclusion in more open, more diverse labour market and workplace structures. Sometimes we get caught up in celebrations and promotion of activities like Pride Month and quickly forget that for our LGBTQ colleagues issues of inclusion and pride are part of their everyday life (and work) realities. Their hopes for, and expectations of, an employer’s valuing and including them in an open, welcoming work environment do not stop on 1 July. That is why I wanted to share my recent article on the importance of remembering LGBTQ inclusion in company HR, and overall business, strategy. The reality of our current job markets is that age cohorts for employees are shifting. Younger generations are moving into entry and mid-level roles and they tend to be more open to forward-thinking organisational cultures and how businesses act as community stakeholders. LGBTQ inclusion continues to grow in importance for leadership teams, in talent recruitment, and for employee attraction and retention strategies. I encourage you to have a look at my article below (easily translatable into English with some help from Google) and reflect upon how your business could benefit from making Pride a daily affair, not just for one month in the year. A critical part of your future, competitive employer value proposition (EVP) will definitely need to include policies for gender and ethnic diversity, safe channels for reporting discrimination, or fully open recruitment processes that do not discriminate based on gender identity or sexual orientation. Just wait and see what magic it works for your organisation’s efforts in candidate attraction, employee retention, and brand business representation. Future successful businesses will be built on inclusivity and social justice. #GiGroupHolding #WorkplaceInclusivity #PrideMonth #SocialJustice

I met Parmesh at the perfect time – just when I needed inspiration and direction for my half-written post about how it is important to enable inclusion and “change through structure, not revolution”. I enjoyed listening to him talk about the simple and actionable ways that we can bring about changes through structure, which is his strategy to make spaces more inclusive – one that he very articulately phrased - “Jugaad Resistance” in his book. A phrase you will now hear me use very often henceforth when I push for change through structure here, and everywhere else. The idea that some revolutions happen in boardrooms is one that I strongly believe in and one that makes the most sense to me. How to make spaces inclusive? You start with the one you spend the most time in – your office and your house. And how to get people to care enough to think about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging – you make policies and make it an important part of their workplaces so they can take the ideas home and everywhere else. More about this in my upcoming posts after I jot down ideas and ideologies from #Queeristan – Parmesh Shahani's memoir-manifesto business book on inclusion in the Indian workplace. Thank you, Parmesh, for being so kind on-stage, off-stage and for giving me a signed copy of your book. As someone who wants to do more in the DEI space, I’m jumping in excitement. #queeristan #inclusion #diversity #DEIatwork

True allyship means creating spaces where everyone can be their genuine self. Support systems like Shine MX underscore the essence of this commitment. When individuals can express themselves fearlessly, workplaces thrive. Kudos to PwC for leading by example in championing inclusivity and genuine allyship. 🌈💼 #InclusivityMatters #AllyshipInAction

Let’s celebrate Disability Pride Month! 💚 Quoting Alessandra Saldanha S. Vianna post… I invite you to get to know our flag, the "Disability Pride Flag", which symbolizes solidarity, pride, acceptance and the strength of the community. It also carries many representations, in its stripes and colors: Black Background: Represents the grief and anger felt by people with disabilities, deaths, victims of violence or ableist abuse. Diagonal Stripes: cut through the walls and barriers that separate the disabled from society. The five stripes represent various types of disabilities (mental illness, neurodivergence, physical disability, sensory disabilities, and invisible disabilities) and the interconnectedness of these experiences. Colors: Each colored banner highlights a different aspect of the disability community. Red represents physical disabilities; gold for cognitive and intellectual disabilities; white for invisible and undiagnosed disabilities; blue for mental illness; and, green for sensory perception deficiencies.

A commission in the Brazilian National Congress discussed the criminalization of same-sex marriage on the same day that the legislative body established the Mixed Parliamentary Front for Citizenship and LGBTI Rights. Our Gustavo Ribeiro reflects in Congresso em Foco on how these events show the important need to increase LGBT political representation: bit.ly/3ZEd29I Although 2022 witnessed the largest LGBT caucus elected to government in the history of Brazil, the attacks against LGBT citizens reveal that there is still much to be done to ensure that LGBT Brazilians have the rights and the power to influence decisions that affect their lives. The good news is that the Brazilian electorate increasingly understands the urgent need for representation. A survey we released in June showed that 63% of people interviewed in Brazil agree that a diversity of voices, including LGBT individuals, is an essential aspect of democracy: bit.ly/3OAYZN1

Here's to the teachers and every other adult who provides safe spaces for kids to be exactly who they are. Here's to the parents who accept their children’s identities with love and blessing, creating a safe haven at home. Here's to the friends who stand by others in times of need, offering support and understanding. Here's to the community leaders who advocate for equality and inclusivity, making neighborhoods safer for everyone. Here's to the mentors who guide youth with wisdom and compassion, ensuring they feel seen and supported. Here's to the allies who speak up against discrimination and advocate people's rights, helping to build a more inclusive world. Here's to every person who has yet to accept people's choices. It's okay, time is required for LGBTQ people to gain their rights, but all that is asked for is acceptance. Don’t bully, tease, or ignore them. Accept them for who they are. Your acceptance possibly can make a huge impact, creating a world where everyone feels loved, respected, and understood. Let's build a society where kindness and compassion triumph over prejudice and fear.
