UCU LGBT+ charter
29 October 2024
LGBT+ people and rights have endured increasingly negative attacks and negative press attention in recent years. UCU is strong in our support of all LGBT+ rights backed by years of policy passed by UCU members at our annual Congress.
There are many UCU reps and members interested in doing something to support our LGBT+ members, and students. However, UCU members and reps report patchy understanding of, and action to support, LGBT+ members at branch level. So, we need to find constructive ways of organising and campaigning for LGBT+ rights at branch level.
This is even more the case in the context of ongoing challenges faced by LGBT+ people.
The aim of the charter is to identify actions that branches can take to promote LGBT+ equality and liberation.
