Despite efforts,most countries still struggle to be inclusive and diverse in their workplaces and societies. Members of the LGBTIQ community are often subjected to discrimination and bias, which can have negative effects on their mental health and careers.
Solution
Create a safe community and help desk for LGBTIQ members and builders on the Celo Blockchain to discuss issues and solutions, and share resources with other community members. Together members would create an ally with other builders outside the community, to advocate and create awareness on the issue of discrimination in the society and in the workspace
