In our country, there is a positive correlation between LGBTQIA+ inclusion and socio-economic development, and this positive correlation has been consolidated since 2020. The higher level of inclusion mainly translates into greater wealth and attractiveness of territories. At the same time, however, there is an "inclusion divide" that persists over the years between Northern, Central and Southern Italy and also between neighbouring territories, giving a picture of strong heterogeneity of the Italian territories. Read the main results contained in the Report on LGBTQIA+ inclusion and economic development by Tortuga Think-tank presented by Associazione EDGE > LGBTI+ leaders for change at Bloomberg News Milan. Thanks to all the speakers! Irene Tinagli, Pavel Subrt, Justin Nelson, Aaron Pugliesi, Caroline Chung, Emanuele Veratti, Damiano Terziotti, Giuseppe Mora and the moderators Chiara Albanese and Tommaso Ebhardt.

As part of Race Equality Week's #ListenActChange theme, we've explored the reality of racism and discrimination in the workplace. Today, we're showing you, as individuals or organisations, how you can act to combat racism in the workplace. At Nafsiyat, we imagine a future where every individual, regardless of race or ethnicity, experiences a safe and respectful work environment. A key step towards this future is workforce training to enhance intercultural understanding. Our Intercultural Development training delves into crucial areas such as cross-cultural communication, racial identity awareness, and intercultural sensitivity, equipping individuals with the necessary skills to effectively address and counteract racism. Engaging in this training is not just an act of participation but a commitment to #ListenActChange - to learn, grow, and be part of a collective effort towards a more equitable and respectful work culture.

🏳️🌈 💭 As we’re in Pride Month, I'm often asked what Pride means to me. This question always prompts deep reflection. 🗳️ ⚖️ Pride is not just a celebration; it’s a profound acknowledgement of our history and a bold statement about our future. This year, Pride Month coincided with the election of a new European Parliament, one of the largest democratic processes in the world. These elections are crucial as they shape policies and directions that affect millions, including the LGBTIQ+ community. 🇪🇺 🌍 Amidst this, we witness a concerning shift towards the extreme right, which fuels stress and anxiety among many of us in the LGBTIQ+ community. We know all too well how fragile our rights can be. The political landscape is changing, and the rise of extremist ideologies threatens the progress we've fought so hard to achieve. ✊🏻 📢 Yet, Pride Month is also a testament to our resilience. It reminds us of our strength and the importance of staying vigilant. We must continue to fight for our voices to be heard and claim our space, especially when visibility is crucial. 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 This year’s Pride also takes place against the backdrop of a Europe scarred by wars and invasions, crises that are heartbreakingly close to home. In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to stand together, uphold our values, and support one another. 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ Pride is a time to honour our past, assert our presence, and fiercely protect our future. It is a reminder that, despite the adversity, we are unyielding in our quest for equality and justice. Let’s make our voices louder, our presence undeniable, and our resolve unbreakable. Happy Pride! #PrideMonth #LGBTIQ #Equality #HumanRights #StrengthInUnity #EuropeanElections

Just Released: Outright International's new publication on LBQ advocacy and research priorities, developed in partnership with ILGA World and Global Lesbian* Coalition (a network comprising the Asia Feminist LBQ Network, Central Asian Feminist LBQT Network, EL*C - EuroCentralAsian Lesbian* Community, the Network of Lesbian and Bisexual Women’s Organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean - Red LESLAC, and the SADC-LBQ Network). This consultative process fostered cross-regional connections and compiled findings from a survey and meetings with more than 150 LBQ activists from every region. Priority themes include economic justice, climate justice, gender-based violence, dismantling gender norms, improved access to health, and overcoming legal and statutory barriers to equality. In addition, the consultations resulted in a stronger focus on advocacy within United Nations spaces and mechanisms. We hope this guidance on global advocacy and research priorities will help activists and allies advance human rights and improve the lives of LBQ people around the world.

Even though the USA has many problems, it excels in allowing the most capable people to represent their country, regardless of race and origin. In contrast, some countries only let their so-called native people represent them. This isn't about China vs. Chinese Americans; it's about who represents the country while already being part of it. This is the USA’s victory in knowing how to let capable nationals represent their country. #Inclusion #Diversity #RepresentationMatters #USAVictory #Equality #Nationals
