Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation: Promoting Rights, Diversity and Equality in the World of Work (PRIDE)

The project will identify good practices and discrimination faced by LGBT women and men under each of the four pillars of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda. It will: • identify the gaps and shortcomings in legal provisions and their application which lead to discrimination in the world of work for LGBT persons, and record positive legal systems where such rights are protected (Fundamental Principles and Rights); • identify ‘good practice’ workplaces where diversity and tolerance for LGBT persons is promoted (Employment Promotion); • assess whether social security instruments such as medical care, pension entitlements and other benefits are available to LGBT workers on the same terms as other workers (Social Protection); and • assess the extent of constituents’ knowledge and technical capacity to raise LGBT issues in tripartite social dialogue fora and in collective bargaining processes (Social Dialogue). In addition, as certain LGBT persons face particular challenges in relation to HIV and generally have been marginalized in the global response to AIDS, a fifth component on HIV and AIDS is also included.
