Description

This panel brings together LGBTQIA+ trade union activists and organisers from Argentina, the
Philippines, Sri Lanka, Saint Lucia, and Zimbabwe to share their experiences of advancing
inclusion in workplaces, trade unions, and wider society across different cultural, political, and
social contexts. Through personal stories, practical examples, and lessons learned, the
discussion will offer insight into both the opportunities and challenges of LGBTQIA+ organising,
while recognising that the role and position of trade unions differs significantly across regions.
The session highlights the importance of mutual learning, cross-border solidarity, and supporting those working to create safer and more LGBTQIA+inclusive workplace environments.
