Obtainment of “Silver Recognition” for 2020 Pride Index

On Nov. 11, 2020, Waseda University’s LGBTQ-related initiatives obtained “Silver Recognition” in the “PRIDE Index,” an evaluation index that assesses workplace initiatives for LGBTQ and sexual minorities, established by the private organization “work with Pride.” As the University’s first application for recognition, this opportunity allowed the University to deepen its awareness of what makes a workplace comfortable for LGBTQ.  The University will continue to value and promote diversity as it not only relates to sexual orientation and gender identity, but also as it relates to creating a fair working environment where a diverse range of people can work cooperatively.

PRIDE Index

Established in 2016 by work with Pride, it is the first evaluation index in Japan to assess workplace initiatives for LGBTQ and sexual minorities. There are five indexes — policy, representation, inspiration, development, and engagement / empowerment — each of which have their own assessment standards. A point is awarded for each fulfilled index, with gold status awarded for five points, silver for four points, and bronze for three points. In 2020, 230 businesses and organizations received awards. Only four institutes of higher education, the University included, received awards.
