Ground-Breaking programme for Trans Equality

Trans and non-binary people are facing alarming levels of discrimination at work and in society, but a new programme is aiming to help employers provide better support in the workplace.

Stonewall, the lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT) equality charity, has launched a ground-breaking Trans Allies Programme to support trans people at work and in wider society.

This follows research from earlier in the year that showed half of trans people (51%) have hidden their identity at work for fear of discrimination or abuse. Moreover, one in eight trans employees (12%) have been physically attacked by colleagues or customers in the past year.

The new Programme will help to give non-trans people a better understanding of the impact of transphobia, tools and language to tackle anti-trans discrimination and how to ‘come out’ in support of trans people everywhere.
