The Human Library organized in partnership with Naz Foundation, a non-profit organization that works for the rights and well-being of marginalized communities in India, provided employees an opportunity to learn from life stories of the community members. It witnessed esteemed speakers including Anjali Gopalan, Founder, Naz Foundation India and LGBTQIA+ advocate, Chandra Ji, a proud advocate of LGBTQIA+ rights and Bobby Ji, a resilient LGBTQIA+ advocate and self-discovery beacon, found strength in embracing her femininity. The Human Library was followed by a Queer Flea Market where entrepreneurs from the LGBTQIA++ community such as Rajinder, Hira, Mona and, Avinash set up stalls for the employees to engage and buy their products.
Ravi Bhatnagar, Director, External Affairs and Partnerships, SOA, Reckitt said, “We, at Reckitt, are proud to be one of the strongest allies for the LGBTQIA++ community members in India and are committed to fostering a culture of equality that supports every individual.
