Hachette UK Partners With All About Trans To Promote Understanding

Today we hear that the publishers Hachette UK is partnering with the organisation All About Trans to promote understanding and become a better trans ally. The move is the latest in Hachette UK’s Changing the Story programme, a move devoted to diversity and inclusion.

The programme has been developed after recent events saw the issue brought to the light. Recently a number of Hachette UK’s staff signed a group letter asking the company to address the lack of reaction to J. K Rowling’s contentious views while printing her new children’s book, The Ickabog, and a consultation with the company’s Pride employee network.

All About Trans was created by the charity On Road Media, a small company that aseeks to improve media coverage of communities who are misrepresented. From September Hachette UK will be working with All About Trans on a series of curated meet ups and as a further way of supporting the issues in hand, Hachette UK is making a donation of £10,000 to Stonewall UK, Britain’s leading LGBTQ+ charity.
