Same-sex Sexuality and Diversity Employment Policies in UK-based International Development Agencies

Carolyn H Williams

Development, 2009, vol. 52, issue 1, 109-113

Abstract: UK-based international development agencies are introducing the concepts of diversity and sexual orientation into their staff employment policies for the first time. Based on interviews with agency staff and a study of diversity policy documents, Carolyn Williams outlines some of the difficulties that have emerged. She proposes that future debates and policymaking need to explore how to interconnect sexual identity, social and cultural diversity, while paying careful attention to the protection of individual's right to privacy.
