[:it]May 1st, ARCIGAY's Social Media Campaign for LGBTI Visibility in the Workplace Bologna, April 29, 2019 – It's called Have I ever told you? Arcigay's social media campaign for the rights and visibility of LGBT+ people in the workplace, launched on May 1st, Labor Day. The initiative is the result of the work carried out in recent months by members of Arcigay's Labor Policies thematic area and was conceived and implemented by the Arcigay Mantua territorial committee, which provided its expertise. Photographer Giuseppe Gradella featured six professionals in the shots, choosing the workplaces of his subjects to illustrate the importance, for the well-being of workers, of not hiding one's emotional and sexual dimensions and gender identity, and how this can have positive impacts on one's professionalism. "Work," explains Manuela Macario, head of Work and Marginality in the national secretariat of Arcigay, "occupies a significant part of our time and therefore of our lives. The workplace is a container of relationships, of interpersonal and social dynamics. For this reason, it is essential that workplaces are safe, welcoming, and inclusive spaces. From these premises, Arcigay's national campaign for the rights and visibility of LGBTI+ people in the workplace, "Have I ever told you?", was born. With May 1st, Labor Day, approaching, it was deemed necessary to focus attention on the importance for LGBTI+ people to work in non-discriminatory environments, in which they feel free and safe to narrate and act out their sexual orientation and gender identity. Visibility becomes the tool for asserting rights and deconstructing prejudices." In addition to the campaign, whose materials are available for download at this link, Arcigay is supporting the national May 1st demonstration, which this year will take place in Bologna. The General Secretaries of CGIL, CISL, and UIL will be present. The meeting is at 10:00 a.m. in Piazza XX Settembre in Bologna. A delegation from Arcigay will be present at the demonstration.
