Support Pride in Education: Help Us Continue Advancing LGBTIQA+ Inclusion in Schools
Pride in Education is an unincorporated association run by three dedicated volunteers who are passionate about creating inclusive, celebratory spaces in the education sector. Unlike charities, our status allows us the freedom to be political and address critical issues that many organizations cannot due to restrictions on advocacy. We are committed to advancing LGBTIQA+ inclusion in schools, universities, and educational institutions across the globe—but we can’t do it alone.
We need your support to continue this important work. Your donations will help us:
Pay our speakers fairly for their invaluable contributions to our webinars and events.
Keep our website running, so it can remain a resource hub for educators around the world.
Expand our reach and provide more free webinars and resources to teachers, students, and educational leaders worldwide.
Pride in Education’s Ethical Funding Policy ensures that all financial partnerships align with our commitment to diversity, equity, and LGBTIQA+ inclusion in education.
Pride in Education is committed to proactive action to promote safer spaces for all of our events. Please click here to view our Safer Spaces Policy.

UK Supreme Court Ruling – what we know so far and Pride in Education’s concerns with the ruling
Pride in Education Statement:
In response to the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the definition of “woman” under the Equality Act 2010, we have compiled this summary to outline what the ruling means, express our concerns about its potential impact on trans, non-binary, and intersex inclusion—particularly within education—and reaffirm our unwavering commitment to creating inclusive, safe, and supportive environments for all.
Standing in Solidarity: Advocating for Education and Peace in Conflict Zones
Pride in Education stands in solidarity with the children and young people of Gaza and victims of genocides and conflicts worldwide, including those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ukraine, Sudan, Yemen, and Palestine. As stated in Article 28 of the UNCRC, children and young people have the right to education regardless of their race, gender, or disability, whether they are in detention or are refugees. We denounce the destruction of schools, colleges, and universities and acknowledge its devastating impact on the education of all children and young people living in war zones.
The inability to access education in such circumstances has a profoundly negative effect on the well-being and future prospects of these vulnerable young individuals. We call for a ceasefire in all conflict zones and urge global support to rebuild educational infrastructure and ensure access to inclusive quality education for all affected children and young people.
It is imperative to create a more compassionate society where everyone, regardless of their identity, has the right to self-determination, can thrive, and be their authentic selves. Let's unite in our efforts to forge a brighter future where every child and young person has the opportunity to flourish in an environment of acceptance, equality, and peace.
Trans & Non Binary Education
The Department for Education (DfE) in England has released a draft, non-statutory guidance for schools on gender-questioning children, which is currently in the consultation phase. Pride in Education has joined a coalition of LGBTQ+ organisations to collectively respond to the draft and ensure that all LGBTQ+ young people feel safe and supported in their educational environment.

UK's Declining LGBTIQA+ Rights: A Call to Action
In 2022, ILGA (the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association) released their ranking of LGBTQIA+ rights for this year - where it was seen that the UK has yet again slipped down the list, now ranking at 17th.
In 2015 the UK saw itself at the top of the list, but the continued erosion of LGBTQIA+ rights has become a real cause for concern, particularly around conversion therapy and trans rights.
Pride in Education urges the UK government to follow through on its commitment to ban all conversion practices and to remove the block on the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
