Global Unions hold conference in Cape Town bringing together LGBTI trade unionists worldwide to strategise against the global anti-LGBTI backlash and strengthen support for LGBTI workers and communities.

On November 11, the Council of Global Unions (CGU) LGBTI Coordinating Committee will hold a conference in Cape Town, South Africa, where Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) trade unionists representatives from across the world will reflect on how to fight the global anti-LGBTI backlash and to amplify their support for LGBTI workers, people, and communities globally.  

The event will take place in parallel with the celebration of ILGA World Conference 2024, the largest global gathering of LGBTI organisations - and this is no coincidence.

A beacon of solidarity

The global trade union movement has been a beacon of solidarity with the struggle of LGBTI communities and must continue to do so. In times of violent pushback, unity, resistance, and solidarity are fundamental to protect LGBTI rights and drive political change to achieve a world free of discrimination. 

Five moments of joy will unfold during the conference - an opportunity to listen to inspirational stories, meaningful songs and powerful testimonials to keep spirits intact to continue the fight for LGBTI rights and equality.
