As trade unions continue to respond to the anti-LGBTI backlash globally, INAFTU and the CGU LGBTI Coordinating Committee will organise a session with trade union representatives and activists to reflect on their experiences at the forefront of the fight back and share their perspectives on how the trade union movement and its allies should build a stronger advocacy for LGBTI rights.

Panellists will include:

• Jean Wyllys, activist, Brazil
• Meredith Peace, Australian Education Union (AEU) Victoria, Australia
• Slomo Cele, Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), South Africa
• Naomi J Wilson, Starbucks Workers United, United States
• Sandro Gallittu, Italian General Confederation of Labour (CGIL), Italy

The panel discussion will be moderated by Claire Trevor, from the Council of Global Unions LGBTI Committee.

The Council of Global Unions LGBTI Coordinating Committee is committed to continue responding to attacks on the LGBTI community and keep defending dignity, inclusion, justice and solidarity, which are fundamental values in the labour movement.
