The Importance of Pansexual and Panromantic Visibility On May 24th, it is Pansexual and Panromantic Awareness and Visibility Day, a crucial moment to reflect on the importance of inclusion and diversity in the social environment. Recognizing and supporting pansexual and panromantic identities is essential to creating spaces where everyone feels safe and respected. Pansexuals differ from bisexuals in that they are open to having relationships with people who do not necessarily identify as men or women, including non-binary people. So much so that the prefix “pan” comes from Ancient Greece and means “all” or “everything”. Panromantic people, on the other hand, do not feel sexual attraction, but they do feel romantic attraction, regardless of gender. Celebrating diversity together we are stronger! #savieasblngoofficial #pansexualvisibilityday #panpride #respectandinclusion #diversity

🌈 May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) 🌈 At SMRC, we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community today and every day. We believe in creating a world where everyone can live free from fear and discrimination. Celebrating diversity and fostering inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. 👐 On this IDAHOBIT, let's reaffirm our commitment to respect and value the rights, strengths, opinions, and experiences of all individuals. Together, we can build stronger, more connected communities. Language is very powerful. It can be discriminatory, harmful, and limiting. It can also provide people with the ability to describe their identities and experiences. We should always be mindful of how we communicate with other people. That's why, at SMRC, we embrace the use of inclusive language for LGBTIQA+ people ✨ 💜 The inclusive language guide has been released by Victorian Department of Families, Fairness & Housing to ensure you use inclusive language for LGBTIQA+ people. The guide aims to support public sector entities and their employees. We all have a responsibility to make Victoria a safer, fairer, and more inclusive place for everyone. Read the guide and other resources here: https://smrc.me/3QMiVhW Join us as we raise awareness, promote understanding, and support the rights of everyone, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation.

How do we engage men in the diversity conversation #2. Remember intersectionality Men, as roughly half of the population, comprise a huge variety of other identities and experiences. The mistake is often to assume they are all middle class, white and privileged(that well-known trope of male, pale and stale). For many men, their 'maleness' may well give them a workplace privilege, but their other identities may disadvantage them. You need to make sure men are visibly part of neurodiversity, age, social mobility, racial diversity andLGBTQIA+ work in your organisation.

Inclusion is not a favor; it’s a fundamental right. Let us be architects of a world where everyone’s story matters, where no one’s existence is erased. Let us educate, not alienate. Let us embrace, not erase. Let us be allies, not adversaries. In a world striving for equality, we find strength in our diversity. Let us embark on a journey where every voice matters, where no one is left behind. Today, we focus on the intersection of Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and the rights of intersex individuals. Imagine a world where intersex variations are celebrated, not hidden. Where intersex individuals are seen, heard, and respected. Advocacy efforts should promote social acceptance, legal recognition, and participation of intersex people in decision-making processes. By working together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world for all, regardless of their gender identity or intersex status. #EndIntersexPhobia #IntersexRightsAreHumanRights #EmbraceDiversity #IntersexInclusion #DiversityStrengthensUs #ProtectIntersexChildren #intersexisbeautiful♀️⚧️ #IntersexRights #StopIGM #intersexrightsarehumanrights #InclusiveSociety #intersexawareness #RighttoBodilyAutonomy #stopcontrollingintersexbodies

As we observe International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), it’s crucial to recognise the role of influence in the business community. Those of us with the power to shape workplace cultures and societal norms must advocate for progress, equality, kindness and fairness. We have a responsibility to foster environments where diversity is celebrated, and inclusion is the standard. By actively supporting IDAHOBIT, we send a powerful message that discrimination has no place in our society or our businesses. Leaders must commit to creating a world where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, can thrive without fear of prejudice. #IDAHOBIT #Inclusion #Diversity #Pride KorumLegal

When you look at someone, what is it you see? ….A black migrant man? A muslim middled aged woman? A young woman in a wheelchair? This way that we look at and see people narrows our vision of them, of us, of the world. What does it take for us to see race, gender, nationality, race, religion….and not define people by what we believe these characteristics mean? (Actually we could stop defining people to fit them in our little boxes altogether ….but i guess thats another drawing) #equality #diversity #inclusion #EDI #drawingit #visualthinking improvingworklife (iw)

Today marks an important day, not just for the LGBTQIA+ community, but for humanity as a whole. May 17th is recognized as the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia (IDAHOBIT) as on this day in 1990 the World Health Organisation (WHO) removed homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. Although we have made much progress, we face significant setbacks too. Currently, 62 UN member states criminalise consensual same-sex relations, either by law or in practice. At least 59 countries have restrictions on freedom of expression related to sexual and gender diversity issues, and in the past two years there has been an acceleration in the enacting and debating of such provisions. We have a long way to go. The theme of IDAHOBIT 2024 is a call for solidarity, and for everybody to unite in creating a world with social justice, where no one is left behind. There are many ways you can support the community, from raising awareness, advocating, education, and challenging discrimination in all forms. https://lnkd.in/grKhQBYV Equal needs to be equal. #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #loveislove
