It is estimated that around 70 million LGBTI (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender and Intersex) are living in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Of those only 5% are estimated to live openly. The workplace is the last place where Chinese LGBTI people disclose their SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression). On the other hand, the workplace is also among the daily life environments with the lowest rate of discrimination contrasting high rates of discrimination at the family and the school.
