The City of Joburg and the Thami Dish Foundation celebrated the last day of human rights month on Tuesday by raising awareness of workplace discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community.
While this conversation has been had multiple times, and progress has been made, many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and queer people still worry that revealing their sexuality at work will have negative consequences. “Queer people often face disparities in access to health care, they even avoid clinics because of the treatment they get in many healthcare facilities. Law enforcements as well and how they generally treat cases at police stations. Many queer people get secondary victimisation when they get to a police station,” said Kotlolo.He said that the dress codes and uniforms always presented challenges for queer employees.
“We need to develop a clear mission for supporting the LGBTQI+ community in the work force implemented by senior management.”
This is always welcome, but it never stay proportional. Eventually the rights of the few overweigh and subdue the rights of the many.

Amnesty International slams SA for violating citizens’ rights under lockdownSouth Africa’s government has come under sharp criticism on Freedom Day from international human rights organisation Amnesty International (AI) for the violation of its citizens’ rights under the Covid-19 lockdown. It's poor leadership under Ramaphosa. The Americans fought their own law enforcement officials street by street despite covid-19. Biden did not keep quiet. Here, Cyril knows nothing. If our useless media & useless NGOs say nothing, others won't keep quiet.
