The path to LGBTI inclusion
The Innovation Services’s Diversity and Inclusion project “Reflections” advances efforts to drive cultural change within UNHCR and the wider humanitarian eco-system to increase diversity, inclusivity, and gender equity.
The project seeks to dig beneath the surface of our conversations around inclusion to understand how we innovate in the space of inclusion. We have reached out to people inside and outside of UNHCR, where vibrant discussions are ongoing, to find the stories and experiences that support the drive for structural and behavioural change.
Ilija has been warmed by advances in LGBTI issues in the UN system in the last number of years, and feels passionate about continuing to make UNHCR in particular a leader in LGBTI inclusion.
With useful advice for managers and examples of challenges faced by LGBTI colleagues in the sector, we learn the importance of inclusion to the everyday well-being and contributions of queer staff.
