2023 WORLD LGBTIQ+ CONFERENCE FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS
Hosted by Victoria Police (Melbourne, Australia)
31 January - 3 February 2023, Crown Melbourne, Australia
Conference Theme: Better Together
In February 2023, Victoria Police will be hosting the 2023 World LGBTIQ+ Conference for Criminal Justice Professionals in Melbourne, Australia.
Better Together
is the theme for the Melbourne conference.
What does Better Together
look like?
We are Better Together when:
We are Better Together when:
- Criminal justice organisations involve the LGBTIQ+ community in decisions that matter to them;
- LGBTIQ+ employees and allies work together to create organisational cultures where diversity is nurtured and valued;
- LGBTIQ+ diversity and inclusion is understood through the lens of intersectionality, and where we acknowledge and celebrate our whole selves; and
- LGBTIQ+ criminal justice professionals work towards common goals by connecting across disciplines, jurisdictions and borders.
The conference will focus on building on the relationships that criminal justice professionals and their organisations have with LGBTIQ+ communities, both external and internal to their organisations. The conference will provide an opportunity for criminal justice professionals from around the world to communicate with each other through various workshops, panel discussions, case studies and lectures to facilitate the sharing of new ideas, strategies and best practices to ensure that we grow the relationships we have with LGBTIQ+ communities.
The conference will help to establish best practice techniques and training necessary for the purpose of decreasing homophobia, transphobia and biphobia while increasing cultural diversity awareness in the workplace.
The purpose of the conference is to educate criminal justice professionals through dialogue as well as various programs and services that in turn result in policies, opportunities, practices and benefits in the workplace regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression.
Facilitating the conference is a tremendous undertaking. We are hoping you will consider supporting this very worthwhile event.
NOTE:
We are in the planning stages for the conference and anticipate that the conference will be held as an 'in-person' event in Melbourne, Australia. In the event that COVID-19 international travel restrictions still apply in 2023, then further details will be released closer to the conference date.
