LGBT - Lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders
:: Policy ::
In 1998, the EI World Congress passed a resolution on the "Protection of the rights of lesbian and gay education personnel". The resolution required the application and evaluation of GLBT rights among member organizations. Within the context of its policy on Equality, the Committee on Equality within the EI Pan European Structure put the defense of LGBT rights on its agenda since 2001. Since 2004, EI and the Public Services International (PSI) set up a EI-PSI LGBT Forum (made up of representatives from affiliates of the two organizations), which serves as consultative body to the Executive Boards of both EI and PSI.
