IDAHOBIT: How to be an Ally Webinar

Deakin’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Team invite Deakin staff and students to attend this webinar session, How to be an Ally, as part of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT). On 17 May 1990, the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from the Classification of Diseases. While we celebrate this milestone and other advancements in LGBTQIA+ equality, the reality is that there's still more work to do.

Join us for this session to explore what LGBTQIA+ inclusion looks like, how to use inclusive language, and the role we can all play to be allies to members of the LGBTQIA+ community. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
