What is a Safe Zone?Slide3

When you display the placard in your work area, what are you communicating or supporting?

It is a space in which people of diverse backgrounds, especially members of the LGBTQ community, are welcome and included. Allies create these spaces by being open in their support and acting as advocates, in particular for groups that have been marginalized by society. Safe Zones help to establish a campus as an inclusive educational environment where all members can learn and share new ideas, and where everyone can feel safe to be who they are. Slide4
