Coordination committee for sexual orientation and gender identity in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region (Koordinierungskreis SOGI)

The Office of Equality and Diversity is a member of the coordination committee for sexual orientation and gender identity in the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region (Koordinierungskreis SOGI). SOGI stands for sexual orientation and gender identity. Since 2014, stakeholders from administration, education and civil society have been involved in the coordination committee, including representatives of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, the gay-lesbian center “Fliederlich” and municipal equal opportunities officers. The coordination committee advocates recognition of diversity in gender and sexual orientation and stands up against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
