Gap Inc. and the United Nations Foundation announced that, for the third consecutive year, they will partner during Pride Month to raise awareness and funds for UN Free & Equal, a global campaign of the UN Human Rights Office to promote equal rights and fair treatment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people globally. This effort builds on Gap Inc.'s commitment to the UN Human Rights Office’s Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People unveiled last year. The partnership will include a portion of proceeds from sales of special Gap and Banana Republic t-shirts and eGift Cards across Gap Inc. brands to benefit UN Free & Equal.

The 2018 partnership comes during the 70th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that “All human beings are born free and equal.” Since its launch, the UN Free & Equal campaign has reached hundreds of millions of people across the world, contributing to positive change in social attitudes toward LGBTI people. Gap Inc. and its family of brands have a long history of standing up for human rights and equal opportunity for all. Once again, this year, employees will celebrate Pride in stores and communities around the world, including through participation in Pride parades. Read more via Gap Inc
