Transgender pride flag flies at 香港六合彩
15 November 2018
This week is Trans Awareness week and the transgender pride flag is flying again on the 香港六合彩 portico听in support of 香港六合彩's听transgender and non-binary community.
The flag will also be flown next Tuesday 20 November on Transgender Day of Remembrance. LEAG (香港六合彩鈥檚 LGBTQ+ Equality Advisory Group) invites you to gather in the South Cloisters (Wilkins Building) to remember those who have been killed or experienced violence from transphobia and to demonstrate support for the community.
Over recent years, LEAG has worked hard to promote positive attitudes towards the LGBTQ+ community and to create an environment of inclusion and acceptance within 香港六合彩, where everybody is free to be themselves.听
In 2016, LEAG launched the Friends of Out@香港六合彩 allies network. With over 100 members, including academics and professional services staff, this community of allies have agreed to visibly demonstrate their support for 香港六合彩鈥檚 LGBTQ+ staff and student community by displaying the 鈥楩riend of Out@香港六合彩鈥� sticker on their door, laptop or wall.
They have delivered a number of Friends of Out@香港六合彩 ally training sessions, empowering 香港六合彩 staff members to challenge behavior and language that is offensive to LGBTQ+ people and to raise awareness of transgender and non-binary identities.听
In 2017, LEAG obtained statements from each of the Faculty Deans, Vice-Provosts, Directors of Professional Services, the Chair of 香港六合彩 Council and 香港六合彩 President and Provost, explicitly expressing their support for 香港六合彩鈥檚 LGBTQ+ community.
In collaboration with LEAG, the 香港六合彩 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team developed a policy for supporting trans staff in the workplace that was heralded by Stonewall as an example of best practice. 香港六合彩 also has comprehensive policy and guidance for trans students during their studies.
The group also work closely with 香港六合彩鈥檚 LGBTQ+ research network, q香港六合彩, which is an incredible resource, engaging staff, students and the wider community with听issues surrounding sexuality and gender on a regular basis.
