16 May 2020

Two new videos released ahead of the International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, celebrated on 17 May, highlight different aspects of what it means to be part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community in Brazil.

‘What is the impact of diversity at the workplace? created by the Free & Equal Campaign, in partnership with the UNAIDS, seeks to inspire people by sharing examples of companies committed to tackling discrimination against transgender people in the workplace, in the formal labour market and in the community.

The second video features Brazilian LGBTI people and members of the electronic music scene raising awareness on COVID-19 and its impact on the LGBTI community. In just four days, the video reached more than 100 000 people with a message on the importance of staying at home.
