WorkPride Opening & Intersectionality
Welcome to WorkPride 2020, a global online conference powered by Zoom.
We are delighted to present our first workplace conference together with our headline sponsor, EY. myGwork and EY have been partners since the launch of our network in 2015. We are really proud and honored by their continuous support not only to myGwork but also to the LGBTQ+ community worldwide.
EY is a leading professional services firm helping organisations across the world to navigate complex change. Our community of more than 230,000 people in over 150 countries provides forward-thinking advice to help our clients make better decisions. We develop outstanding leaders who team to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders. In so doing, we play a critical role in building a better working world for our people, for our clients, and for our communities.
EY's longstanding support of the LGBT community is just one example of their open, diversity, and inclusive culture. Unity, EY's LGBT+ network, was originally set-up in the UK in 1995 (one of the first of its kind in the private sector) and since then has grown to over 600 members here and over 4,500 members worldwide in over 77 countries.
Panel outline: Intersectionality is the theory that the overlap of various social identities, as race, gender, sexuality, and class, contributes to the specific type of systemic oppression and discrimination experienced by an individual.
Join Aritha Wrickramsinghe - Lawyer for iProbono and human right’s activist as he chair’s a panel of industry leaders to discuss why businesses need to ensure that Intersectionality (if applied) is embedded by HR as working practice throughout.
