Swiss companies in LGBTQIA+ Pride Month

02/Jul/2021 - Associated, SWISSCAM -

June is the month in which LGBTQIA+ Pride is celebrated, with reference to June 28, when the famous Stonewall Uprising in 1969 is remembered. The New York bar that brought together vulnerable LGBT people was a constant target of abuse by police authorities and, although the wave of demonstrations following the incident on that date was not the first recorded in the United States, it became a milestone in the movement for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ population.

It was at this time that the first activist organizations emerged. In Brazil, the movements only started at the end of the dictatorship.

Important achievements have been achieved over time in these and several countries. In the labor market, the inclusion of sexual diversity is still a topic to be discussed in companies.

Check out some of the initiatives of companies associated with SWISSCAM.
