Last May 17, on IDAHOBIT, the Dutch government signed the Declaration of Amsterdam. In doing so, the government underlines its ambition to commit to improving the position of LGBTIQ+ colleagues in the workplace.
I was invited to explain the scientific rationale of the declaration in a panel discussion with Boris Dittrich, human rights activist and senator, Marjan Hammersma, secretary-general of OCW, and Christine Holtkamp, relationship manager at Workplace Pride.
It was a wonderful day, with poignant personal stories and reflections, beautiful music and dance, and a clear message to the Government as an employer to live up to its ambitions.
