Reykjavik
Hinsegin málefni
Í mannréttindastefnu Reykjavíkurborgar kemur fram að óheimilt er að mismuna fólki vegna kyns, kynhneigðar, kynvitundar, kyntjáningar eða kyneinkenna. Ekki skal ganga út frá því að allt fólk sé gagnkynhneigt og sís, meðal starfsfólks, þjónustuþega, í uppeldis- og tómstundastarfi, menntunar og menningarstarfi. Í aðgerðaráætlun í mannréttinda- og lýðræðismálum 2019-2023 má sjá verkefni sem varða hinsegin málefni.
Regnbogavottun Reykjavíkurborgar
Allir starfsstaðir Reykjavíkurborgar geta fengið regnbogavottun. Til þess að fá vottunina þarf starfsfólk að taka þátt í fræðslu um hinsegin málefni og rýna þjónustuna sem veitt er á starfsstaðnum. Að auki þarf að útbúa aðgerðaráætlun í þeim tilgangi að gera starfsstaðinn hinseginvænni.
Trans börn og skólar
Trans börn koma nú út bæði yngri og í meira mæli en áður og eru skólar sífellt að reka sig á það að vera ekki undir það búnir. Á þessari síðu hafa verið teknar saman upplýsingar um trans börn ásamt tvenns konar gátlistum, annars vegar fyrir skóla þar sem barn hefur nýlega komið út sem trans eða er að hefja nám við skólann, og hins vegar fyrir skóla sem vilja verða 'trans-vænir' óháð því hvort að þar séu trans nemendur. Einnig hefur verið útbúin stuðningsáætlun fyrir trans nemendur.
Hinsegin börn og skólar
Það eru hinsegin börn í öllum skólum og eru þau alls konar, rétt eins og önnur börn. Hinsegin börn eiga það þó sameiginlegt að falla út fyrir það sem telst normið hvað varðar kynhneigð, kyntjáningu, kyneinkenni og/eða kynvitund. Á þessari síðu má finna efni á borð við gátlista, skilgreiningar og um hinsegin fjölskyldur meðal annars.
Projects
Here are some of the activities that the Office has undertaken that address LGBTI issues:
- The CoR's Rainbow Certification, an educational and information package aimed at making CoR activities more decentralised, both for staff and service providers.
- The Office for Human Rights and Democracy prepared checklists and compiled materials on LGBTI rights in schools and trans LGBTI rights in schools for both kindergarten and primary schools, while maintaining knowledge of LGBTI status and needs.
- In 2019, the CoR became a member of the Rainbow Cities Network, a platform for cities working on LGBT issues. Its goals are to share experiences and knowledge, work together, learn from each other, and build relationships.
- In 2017, a team was set up on behalf of the Together Against Violence project to produce a report on the situation of LGBT persons and domestic violence. The team's report was released in 2018 and the recommendations contained therein have been used to track domestic violence suffered by LGBT people.
