Homophobia at the workplace

The rights of the queer community have been trampled upon since time immemorial. Whilst other nations have learnt to accept people for who they are, the Arab countries and most African countries have gone a step further and criminalized the LGBTI+ community.

South Africa is still doing a balancing act between its strong constitutional commitment to protect Gay and gender rights and its solidarity with the largely homophobic Africa.

In 1995 South Africa became the first country in the world to include sexual orientation as a human right. But Queer employees still face discrimination at work throughout their working lives.
