Gratitude to 1046 Sverige and Greg Fernando for extending the invitation to join this meaningful campaign. Embracing diversity is crucial in our increasingly polarized society, making this discourse more pertinent than ever. In a world with two sides to every story, the same holds true for the concept of diversity. Our society is undeniably becoming more diverse and will continue to do so in the future—a reality we cannot afford to ignore. While challenges may arise, addressing them is essential. Simultaneously, we must recognize the untapped potential and opportunities that arise from embracing diversity. Human nature tends to be apprehensive about the unknown and unfamiliar. However, it's crucial to remind ourselves to remain open. By overcoming our fears, we unveil the beauty, opportunities, and stories behind the faces and voices that may seem unknown and unfamiliar. Let's embrace diversity as a source of strength and enrichment, transcending our individual fears for a more inclusive and vibrant society. #Diversity #Inclusion #1046sverige #RSFLUtbildning

As we celebrate Pride Month this June, the African Canadian Civic Engagement Council reaffirms its commitment to upholding the dignity and human rights of all people of African descent. We prioritize equity and recognize intersectionality in our support and solidarity efforts, particularly focusing on those within our communities who face compounded challenges and marginalization. Pride Month serves as a time to celebrate 2SLGBTQIA+ joy in living open, authentic lives, and it's also a time to commemorate the historic and ongoing struggles that make doing so possible. According to Amnesty International, 2SLGBTQIA+ people are under attack globally. Trans Murder Monitoring’s latest update shows that there were approximately 327 deaths recorded in 2022. Ninety-five percent of those murdered were trans women, and amongst this number, the majority of the victims were either Black, racialised, or migrant trans women. These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for action to address the pervasive violence and discrimination faced by Black queer and trans individuals, who are particularly vulnerable within both 2SLGBTQIA+ and Black communities. In commemorating Pride Month, we must center our efforts on amplifying the voices and experiences of Black queer and trans individuals, standing in solidarity against all forms of oppression. We as allies must actively combat discrimination and advocate for inclusive policies and practices that uplift and protect the rights and dignity of every member of our community. Pride Month serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice for all. Let us use this moment to recommit ourselves to the principles of allyship, solidarity, and inclusivity, ensuring that every person, regardless of their race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation, can live free from fear and discrimination. #Pride2024 #PrideMonth2024 #2SLGBTQIA+ #LGBT #BlackPride #HumanRights #BlackTransRights #pridemonth #gay #pride #lgbtqia #loveislove

some truth speak, as a practitioner in the deijb - aka diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and belonging space- if we talk about inclusion void of offering an analysis and critique of a rcaialised, class and gender biased society- it may very well be an inclusion that is highlighted problematic toward people who don't fit, and don’t come from the status quo. be careful of ideology, toward so called equality and inclusion that is void of equity and justice. #justsaying

What does it stand for? 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 P People R Respecting I Inclusion D Diversity E Equality 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 It shouldn't be a month. It needs to be 24/7 365 days a year. The LGBTQI + community (Diversity) continues to suffer from discrimination, hate and exclusion from society. In some countries, to identify as LGBTQI can lead to the death penalty. It is crucial, that we use Pride to promote awareness and recognition of LGBTQI people, and what they can give to society. Stop the pink washing. Be an active Ally, and empower yourselves to shout out against hate and discrimination to this community. #pride #Equality #diversity #Inclusion #Allyship
