Techugo’s Pride Talk: Promoting LGBTQ+ Inclusion & Workplace Awareness

PRIDE is not just a month; it’s a way of life. Almost half of LGBTQ+ workers report facing discrimination or harassment at work. 

Think about how far we can go as individuals when we start celebrating this pride each day, each month, and each year by simply fostering a culture of safety and inclusion for our LGBTQIA+ community.

While breaking out of the mental boxes, Techugo initiated positive changes and brought transformation by creating space for a community that deserves to receive love more than they could ever receive hate. 

It’s not always the ‘Gender Behavior.’ We have to understand it now to create a fair world for everyone. So, let’s break the taboo together because it’s only through togetherness we can make a beautiful impact on the world.

Be A Change Leader!

Turning yourself into a change leader is not that difficult!

Trust us; you just have to initiate a favorable step towards a beautiful change. Just like we did at Techugo. On the 6th of October, we executed a small workshop focused on Pride awareness at workplace to enlighten our audiences about the struggles the community face. 

Why Pride Awareness Matters

Even today, many LGBTQ+ people face challenges at work. Almost half of LGBTQ+ workers have experienced discrimination or harassment because of who they are.

Many are not fully open at work. 46% aren’t out to their boss, and 21% aren’t out to any co-workers. This shows why creating safe, inclusive workplaces is so important.

By having conversations, workshops, and initiatives like The Pride Talk, we can help make workplaces kinder and more supportive for everyone.

To be honest, we did not think that ‘The Pride Talk’ would prove to be this impactful; however, it made everyone attentive and curious throughout the event.

But yes, we did it impactfully!

We have realized that it’s high time to unite as a community to fight and strive for equality to make a better world for everyone. 

‘A small change can create huge differences.‘ So, what about a positive change that lets everyone live peacefully, irrespective of which community they belong to, how much wealth they acquire, and where they come from? 

It should be no problem when a male likes putting on eyeliner or a female is attracted to another female. 

Do you feel the same?

We Know About Them, But We Don’t Know Much About Them!

It’s not a surprise, right?

We know only the things about them that society thinks. Judging people based on various perceptions is wrong. You would definitely feel bad when people feel about you on the same basis instead of talking to you personally. 

That’s why interaction & communication are significant. 

Techugo allowed its employees to interact with the community members, ‘Anaam‘ and ‘Swara.’ Not only have we heard their stories, but we also feel inspired by their fight against cruel discrimination. 

Irrespective of the publicly expressed hate comments in school, on the streets, or in the workplace, they did not let their morale down and took immense pride in who they were. 

Still, today they celebrate this joy while crafting a world where each individual feels the power of self-love and self-pride. These two individuals brought a new wave that has shaken the ‘Gender Foundation’ laid by the world. 

A Call for Increased Education and Awareness! 

We are all equal. Therefore, sexuality should not be the only factor determining a person’s value.

Although the law has passed, people still neglect it. 

Do you know why?

Because Pride awareness at the workplace is still missing in many organizations and there is a lack of awareness and educational campaigns. Although Techugo has initiated its first workshop, there will be so many in the future to increase awareness more effectively. 

We believe that the quality of the workforce is not only determined by the number of experiences the company has but also by its employees’ actions towards each other. 

With this small workshop, we tried to bridge the communication gap between our audiences and the community people. The more people we reach, the more powerfully we increase education on this sensitive issue.

Techugo is a leading mobile app development company in India because of its open-minded approach, leadership, and inclusive culture. We urge every workplace to emphasize Pride awareness at the workplace to help create a better, more supportive world.

So, let’s come together and support this initiative.
