There's Room For Everyone with Swami, Athreya, Shreya & Vivaswath
There has always been a social stigma surrounding the LGBTQIA+ community in India. While there have been small strides made into integrating them into mainstream society, there is still a very long way to go. We tend to participate in conversations advocating and supporting their rights and freedom of choice, but when it comes to tangible action, there is hesitation. Controversies take over. While barriers have been broken over the last few years, acceptance is still a work in progress. How can we play an active role in including the LGBTQIA+ community in to mainstream society? What do they want everyone to know? How can we do better and BE better?
Swaminathan, Athreya, Vivaswath, Shreya, Prathik & Aishwarya, are 6 students from @beyond8_in school, who have taken a very powerful step in the right direction. Their book “There’s room for everyone: A handbook for better integration of the LGBTQIA+ community into mainstream society” is creating waves.
Join us as we chat about their book, the legal landscape, diversity & inclusion, catalysts for change in families, educational institutions and the workplace, terminology, what the LGBTQIA+ community wants everyone to know, mental health and a lot more!
