Despite increased acceptance and visibility of LGBTIQA+ people in media and popular culture, the LGBTQIA+ communities continue to experience exclusion, as well as low health, economic and social outcomes.
More than three in four trans and gender diverse people have been treated unfairly because of their gender identity in the past 12 months, research from 2020 shows.
In response to this inequality, the Victorian Government is launching a nation-leading campaign to raise awareness and improve understanding of the experiences of trans and gender diverse Victorians.
Designed by representatives from trans and gender diverse communities, the ‘Unsaid Says A Lot’ campaign highlights the impact of non-verbal communication and shows the negative effect non-verbal cues can have on trans and gender diverse people.
The campaign aims to shed light on the discrimination faced by trans and gender diverse Victorians and celebrate the vibrant diversity of our LGBTQIA+ communities. Together we can help to shift perception of trans and gender diverse communities in mainstream society, inspire greater acceptance and reduce discrimination.
To do this, we need help from allies like you to help spread the word by liking and sharing the campaign materials. Learn more at The Unsaid Says a Lot website.
We all must play our part in making Victoria a more equal and safer place for LGBTIQA+ communities.
