WorkPride - Focus Panels for Communities: The Asexual Umbrella
This series of community panels aims to explore the reality of some more misunderstood communities.
While the term "asexual" is most often associated with those who lack sexual attraction to others, the reality is that it constitutes a spectrum of sexual orientations, often referred to as the "asexual umbrella". Everyone has a different experience with being asexual, and asexuality can mean different things to different people.
This panel aims to explore the reality of living as asexual, what prejudice these peers face and what equal opportunities they might be looking for.
Some key areas that will be explored are:
- What it means to be asexual
- Experiences and challenges faced by our asexual peers
- What can be done to support asexual inclusion, specifically in the workplace
