Bombay Times Out & Proud @Work campaign aims to build inclusive workplaces for LGBTQ+ community
Bombay Times collaborates with Pride Circle and FCB India to launch the ‘Out & Proud@Work’ campaign to foster inclusivity and diversity in the workplace for the LGBTQ+ community. At the back of the court ruling in 2018 decriminalising homosexuality in India, the first edition of the Times Out & Proud campaign was launched with a mission to build a more inclusive and equal society where the LGBTQ+ community can live without fear and discrimination. This campaign went on to set a new reference point in both reader engagement and global recognition.
Bombay Times in collaboration with Pride Circle and FCB India is now launching the second edition of the landmark campaign, titled ’Out & Proud @Work.’ The follow-up campaign highlights one critical and oft-overlooked aspect of their lives: the issue of earning a livelihood. The community faces different forms of prejudice at and outside the workplace that marginalises its potential, qualifications, and/or personality and leaves them underpaid, unnoticed, and unwanted.
