London Stock Exchange celebrates Lesbian Visibility Week 2025

DIVA Charitable Trust is honoured to close the market at the London Stock Exchange today, in recognition of Lesbian Visibility Week 2025.

This year Lesbian Visibility Week is focused on celebrating rainbow families in all their diversity, spotlighting the challenges LGBTQIA+ women and non binary people still face when it comes to building and nurturing our families here in the UK and around the world.

Lesbian Visibility Week is a global campaign led by DIVA Charitable Trust, the UK’s only national charity focused on LGBTQIA+ women and non binary people.  For the past five years, Lesbian Visibility Week has supported our community through an unbelievably tough time, bringing vital attention to the community’s experiences, perspectives and needs. Our aims remain clear: to build public understanding of LGBTQIA+ women and non binary people’s lives, to increase lesbian visibility and to create a legacy that benefits our community everywhere.

Nancy Kelley, Executive Director DIVA Charitable Trust said: “Celebrating rainbow families and Lesbian Visibility Week here at the London Stock Exchange is both a powerful moment of visibility, and a precious opportunity to advocate for deepening inclusion across the global business community.”
