Uniting Against Far-Right and Anti-Trans Groups and Inclusion of 2SLGBTQI+ people and children

September 20, 2023

We are witnessing the emergence of far-right and anti-trans groups organizing protests on education policies to create safer and more inclusive environments for 2SLGBTQI+ children in schools. These policies, designed to foster acceptance, respect, and equality, have become targets of vehement opposition. We must voice our stance against such groups and highlight the critical need for a strong show of union solidarity to combat the persistent rise of hatred and bigotry.

Together, we must ensure the safety and inclusion of education policies geared towards the well-being of 2SLGBTQI+ children play a crucial role in combating discrimination, bullying, and exclusion within educational settings. By promoting understanding and acceptance, we can and will create an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and free to express their authentic selves.

Far-right and anti-trans groups seeking to undermine these policies jeopardize the mental health, self-esteem, and overall well-being of 2SLGBTQI+ children, perpetuating a cycle of marginalization and discrimination.

That’s why a strong show of union solidarity is paramount in challenging the hatred and bigotry propagated by far-right and anti-trans groups. Unions have long been at the forefront of advocating for social justice and equality, and we must stand united against any form of discrimination or oppression. By leveraging our collective strength and influence, we can amplify our voices to protect the rights and dignity of 2SLGBTQI+ children. Through peaceful demonstrations, education, and the dissemination of accurate information, we can counter the harmful narratives perpetuated by these groups.

The fight against far-right and anti-trans groups is not just about protecting the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ children but also defending the fundamental principles of human rights and equality. Everyone deserves to live free from fear, discrimination, and prejudice. By opposing these groups, we affirm our commitment to creating a society that values diversity, embraces inclusivity, and fosters empathy and compassion.

In the face of persistent and rising hatred and bigotry, we must stand together for the rights of 2SLGBTQI+ children. Our collective efforts, supported by a strong show of union solidarity, can make a tangible difference in creating safer and more inclusive educational environments.

By challenging far-right and anti-trans groups, we affirm our commitment to equality, respect, and acceptance for all. Let us unite in our mission to protect the rights and well-being of 2SLGBTQI+ children and create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
