At the same time, an exponential increase in visibility and positive representation of trans people in mainstream film and television, magazines, music and the business world has been noticed and celebrated. Trans people are appearing in the media as award-winning actors, writers, and advocates. This visibility gives the LGBTQIA+ community a glimmer of hope, hope that greater awareness will lead to greater safety, respect, acceptance and rights for transgender and gender non-conforming people.
On the heels of the global reset triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, and the rise against anti-Asian hate in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, allyship has been more vocal, visible and intersectional than ever. Many companies, ELC included, have expressed a clear stance on social inequities and revolutionized the way they address inclusion, diversity and equity both internally and externally.
wELCome and ELC continue to stand with their transgender and non-binary employees and their family members, consumers and partners, and denounce the rise in oppressive legislation, discrimination and violence against the LGBTQIA+ community globally. In the past year alone, local wELCome chapters have launched in the U.K., Brazil, and India, and will soon launch in Mexico, furthering the company's support and celebrating the beauty of Pride around the world. wELCome and ELC remain committed to building a workplace that is welcoming and equitable to everyone, where people from all walks of life can bring their authentic selves to work and be treated with respect and dignity.
