May 1st is International Labor Day. On this day, workers from all over the world gather in the square to demand their labor rights. The Solidarity for LGBT Human Rights of Korea(HaengSeongIn) demands the rights of LGBTQ people in the workplace at every Labor Day. This year, we also ran a campaign to create an environment where we can work together without discrimination and inequality.
We ran a campaign booth on this May Day. We created a quiz based on the contents of the “Guidebook for LGBTQ+ Inclusive Workplace”. We made it an easy quiz about information about LGBTQ+ people and the rights of LGBTQ+ workers that are easily considered difficult. We gave out prizes with a message of solidarity with LGBTQ+ people to those who participated in the quiz.
We also distributed wet wipes printed with QR code of the Guidebook file at the booth. We increased accessibility by making it possible to carry it with you at all times and access the guidebook at any time.
The campaign was able to distribute guidebooks to more citizens. Through friendly programs, thousands of citizens visited and showed higher interest and participation than before. We plan to continue developing programs to broaden understanding about working and living together as colleagues of LGBTQ+ people.
