IDAHOBIT Webinar (International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia)
Theme: ‘No one left behind: equality, freedom and justice for all’
This year, let’s join Anglo American Platinum in their BOLD stance for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia & Transphobia (IDAHOBIT) by focusing on transgender and transitioning.
Be sure not to miss this courageous session where we will learn from eachother how to shape a culture of inclusion and diversity.
As part of Platinum’s ongoing Light the Way – Extinguish GBV campaign, this curious and courageous conversation will help us understand how gender transitioning and gender dysphoria (sense of unease/distress that one’s assigned birth gender does not match their gender identity) affect one’s psychological wellbeing. We will also delve into the impact it has on social relationships, as well as address the consequences of bullying, harassment and victimisation (BHV).
The session will be driven by individuals’ personal narratives as we harness the power of storytelling and shared experiences to build understanding and create a more inclusive workplace.
