Intersectionality

Abstract

In the world, many LGBTIQ+ people of color (POC) still face discrimination, harassment, and discomfort in the workplace. Indeed, studies indicate that intersectionality, (multiple-minority characteristics) has an impact on how people are treated and perceived at work. This interactive breakout offers a safe space for participants to understand how race, ethnic and cultural backgrounds impact LGBTIQ+ POC professionals at work. It will start the conversation about the challenges LGBTIQ+ POC face in the workplace and particularly focus on awareness raising and strategies for support and allyship.
