Read a message from the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC)

Greetings,

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB) falls on May 17, 2022. The day of action is intended to raise awareness and mobilize the public around ending discrimination and violence faced by 2SLGBTQI people globally. To help mark the date, we have prepared various assets that you are welcome to share and use:

• A written statement on IDAHOTB highlighting some of the initial findings of our survey on Harassment and Violence in Canadian Workplaces;
• Sample social media messages and graphics; and
• A tweet action calling on the federal government to ratify and implement International Labour Organization Convention no. 190 on Violence and Harassment (C-190).

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at human-rights@clcctc.ca.Please keep an eye out for our Pride 2022 update and social media assets, which we will be sharing in the coming weeks!

In solidarity,

Larry Rousseau
Executive Vice-President
