In 2021, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation expanded its LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion efforts in Latin America to include Argentina. Our Global Workplace Equality Programs were established to grow and promote LGBTQ+ inclusion among national and U.S. multinational companies in Latin America and recognize businesses with the HRC Foundation's designation of “Best Places to Work for LGBT+ Equality” or Mejores Lugares Para Trabajar LGBTQ+ for their efforts to become inclusive workplaces.
In partnership with Instituto de Políticas Públicas LGBT+, the Global Workplace Equality team built upon the existing HRC Equidad MX and HRC Equidad CL to establish Equidad Argentina. HRC Equidad AR will further recognize employers in Latin America who have demonstrated a commitment to LGBTQ+ equality by adopting crucial LGBTQ+ inclusive policies and practices for their employees.
responded that they have a formalized Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) policy in place that explicitly references the LGBTQ+ community
have training and education that includes content on discrimination based on “sexual orientation” and “gender identity" or "expression"
have people that are openly LGBTQ+ in leadership and management positions
benefit from the efforts of this program, according to estimates from survey responses.
See the link to the Youtube video recording of the launch event here. The survey will remain open until March 7th, 2024.
The HRC Equidad AR survey assessed major Argentinian businesses and multinational companies based on four core pillars of LGBTQ+ inclusion:
Onax Cirlini (they/them), Implementing Partner
Dolores Covacevich (she/her), Implementing Partner
In Argentina, HRC is partnering with Instituto de Políticas Públicas LGBT+, a nonprofit created to support LGBT+ inclusive policies, practices and workplace inclusion. This partnership was facilitated by Esteban Paulón, a former HRC Global Innovator, who helped pass marriage equality legislation in Buenos Aires.
