LGBTQI+ community human rights training

We are hosting an interactive online training, to share an introduction to the human rights and legal rights we have as LGBTQI+ people in Scotland. The first part of the training will share information about the law and rights, and then there’ll be time for a community discussion about human rights in our day-to-day lives. Understanding our rights can be very helpful, and help challenge any discrimination or barriers that members of our communities face.

We hope this will be a useful, engaging, and friendly training! You don’t need any background knowledge about the law or rights to join.

We’ll briefly cover lots of topics, looking at how they affect LGBTIA+, queer, trans and nonbinary people and communities.

· Human rights

· The Equality Act and anti-discrimination law

· Social and economic rights (health, benefits, works, etc.)

· Laws that are relevant to community organisers

You can sign up for a free ticket on our Eventbrite: LGBTQI+ community human rights training tickets
