Set Free Discrimination and Harassment for LGBTQI+ in Workplace

“Why don’t we have that right? Are we unusual? What did we do wrong that we do not entitle to have those rights? Frequently, we would hear that it’s our country, our city, our Bangkok, everything belongs to us. But in the end, when we ask about the law, it turns out that those laws are for specific groups. You are not included just because you are homosexuals,” said Thai actor, James Fagerlund, also known as Rusameekae, at the seminar ‘How to prevent LGBTQI+ discrimination and harassment in the workplace’ in Bangkok.

The event organized by Swedish embassy discuss the various aspects of discrimination in workplace and how we can improve the situation to create better working environment for all.

What really needs to be changed in order to tackle the problem is the behavior of people in society and in the workplace. People should accept and respect others, regardless of their sexual orientation and gender identity.
