#LesbianVisibilityWeek
#LVW23
#LwiththeT
Our aim is BOTH TO celebrate lesbians and show solidarity with all LGBTQI women and non binary people in our community. We believe in unity, and lifting up those who are most marginalised.
Lesbian Visibility Week aims to show our solidarity with all LGBTQI woman and non binary people in the community, as well as celebrate lesbians. It is essential that Lesbian Visibility Week is a voice for unity and lifts up ALL women, especially those who come from marginalised communities. Recent research (Pride Matters survey, conducted by Pride In London 2018) has shown that gay women are almost twice as unlikely to be out in the workplace as gay male colleagues.
There has been a Lesbian Visibility Day since 2008.
Building on this, we want to create a week that recognises, celebrates and importantly supports lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer women across the UK and beyond to be their true selves at work, at home and socially.
Lesbian Visibility Week is supported by the Diversity Umbrella Foundation
As the leading LBTQ media group in Europe, DIVA Media Group reaches an audience of 250,000 users every month. In our engagement we are increasingly finding LGBTQI women feel that they are misunderstood and under supported.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

I FEEL THAT ALL THE NETWORKING EVENTS AND SPACES ARE DESIGNED FOR AND FOCUSED ON GAY MEN. IT MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE TO ATTEND AND I FEEL THAT IMPACTS ON MY CAREER AND PROGRESSION.

I AM A LESBIAN, BUT DON’T FEEL THAT I CAN BE OPEN ABOUT MY SEXUALITY AT WORK. I HOPE THAT A WEEK THAT RAISES AWARENESS WILL HELP ME FIND THE STRENGTH TO DO THAT.

SEEING SO MANY INSPIRATIONAL WOMEN SHARE THEIR STORIES DURING LVW 2020 REALLY HELPED ME FEEL MORE VALID AND GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO SPEAK MORE OPENLY ABOUT BISEXUALITY.
