DescriptionTrans and gender non-conforming individuals are the victims of harassment, and discrimination, the UN must lead by example. The UN must be a place where a trans-identified staff can be hired as an admin. assistant and end up one’s career as an Under-Secretary-General.
From gender-neutral bathrooms at the UN, to the use of gender-neutral language, to more gender options to choose from in employment forms, these comprehensive Recommendations are intended to capacitate the UN to meet the needs of trans-identified and gender non-conforming individuals.
The Gender Parity Strategy offers a unique opportunity to achieve cultural change, and these UN-GLOBE (the LGBTQI UN Staff advocacy group) recommendations show the path forward towards achieving this change. These Recommendations are also a perfect fit with the UN System-Wide Strategy on Gender Parity. The Gender Parity Strategy cannot succeed unless the UN culture changes. It is time to rethink gender at the UN. It is time to move away from a culture of binary gender (man, woman) to a culture of gender diversity that is inclusive of people of all identities.
