Supporting Intersex Inclusion in the Workplace

Cómo lograr la inclusión de personas intersex en el lugar de trabajo
For this pride month, in partnership with Cámara de Comercio LGBT de Argentina, we’ve translated our resource Supporting Intersex Inclusion in the Workplace to Spanish. This resource is the first-of-its-kind and provides specific guidance to support employers in raising awareness about intersex people and help catalyze actionable steps for creating more inclusive, supportive workplaces. 

En este mes del orgullo, en colaboración con la Cámara de Comercio LGBT de Argentina, hemos traducido al español nuestro recurso Cómo lograr la inclusión de personas intersex en el lugar de trabajo. Este recurso es uno de los primeros de su tipo y brinda orientación específica para ayudar a les empleadores a crear conciencia sobre la identidad intersex y dar pasos prácticos para crear lugares de trabajo más inclusivos y de soporte.
