Every month, URelles delves into these complex documents to extract the essentials and deliver a digestible, jargon-free version. As we know, several organizations and individuals concerned have expressed their dissatisfaction<\/strong> with the committee’s composition and the release of this report, which is far from reaching a consensus<\/strong>. And for good reason! At URelles, we took the time to read it in its entirety and are sharing with you some excerpts<\/strong> and recommendations that concern the workplace<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Civil status changes on the rise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since the introduction of the \u201cX<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong> designation in 2022, the number of people requesting a change in gender designation has risen sharply<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 659<\/strong> applications in 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 1 242<\/strong> in 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administrative recognition of non-binary identities is progressing, and people are responding!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Better distinguishing sex and gender in data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even today, many surveys do not distinguish<\/strong> between sex at birth and gender identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result: it is difficult to paint an accurate<\/strong> picture of trans and non-binary realities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Discrimination in employment still too prevalent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CDPDJ receives more<\/strong> complaints related to gender identity or expression in the field of employment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 Complaints of transphobia increased by 40%<\/strong> between 2020 and 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The power of witnesses<\/h2>\n\n

When someone intervenes, two out of three times<\/strong>, the bullying stops within 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n

Conversely, the silence<\/strong> and passivity of witnesses reinforce the sense of impunity.<\/p>\n\n

When we laugh, encourage, or repeat the actions, we contribute to bullying and exacerbate<\/strong> the consequences for the victims.<\/p>\n\n

Inclusive toilets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Simply converting non-mixed spaces without prior renovation<\/strong> should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n

It is better to take the time to create the conditions necessary for the success of mixed-use spaces, rather than fueling tensions due to sloppy or poorly designed<\/strong> developments.<\/p>\n\n

The ideal inclusive toilet:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 have walls and doors that extend from floor to ceiling<\/strong>, and where only the sinks are shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2192 have increased visibility<\/strong> in common areas.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
