MDHC develops policy to promote employment and income for LGBTQIA+ people

Summary:

The Secretariat of LGBTQIA+ Rights, led by Symmy Larrat, recently met with representatives of the Mais Diversidade Institute to finalize the guidelines for the National Strategy for Dignified Work for LGBTQIA+ individuals. The strategy aims to promote employment and dignified work for over 3 million Brazilians who identify as LGBTQIA+, historically marginalized and excluded from the formal labor market. The initiative involves a tripartite approach, with partnerships between government, civil society, and private sector organizations. The goal is to create a culture of inclusion, providing training, scholarships, and job opportunities for LGBTQIA+ individuals. The strategy is expected to be launched in the first half of the year and will be regulated through a federal decree.
