The Lithuanian Gay League invites you to participate in an important scientific study dedicated to researching the experiences of trans and non-binary individuals in the workplace.
About the project: Vytautas Magnus University, together with the Lithuanian Gay League and international partners, is conducting an EU-funded project “Transcending Barriers: Promoting Transgender Inclusion in the Workplace” from 2025-2027.
Why this matters: Lithuania still lacks data on the situation of transgender and non-binary individuals in the labor market. This research will help better understand the needs and challenges these individuals face when seeking employment or working.
How you can contribute: We invite you to participate in the study, which includes:
- Semi-structured interviews with transgender and non-binary individuals
- Semi-structured interviews with human resources specialists and managers
- Quantitative survey
Benefits of the research: The collected data will help create:
- Training for human resources specialists
- Mentorship programs for transgender individuals
- Recommendations for a more inclusive work environment
Confidentiality: All information will be handled strictly in accordance with data protection requirements and research ethics principles.
If you would like to participate in the research interviews or have questions, please contact researcher Kristina Rūkaitė: kristina.rukaite@vdu.lt +370 679 16472
Thank you for supporting the creation of a more inclusive work environment for everyone!
