Homosexual people (lesbians and gays) are victims of several forms of violence at work: discrimination (in access to employment, responsibilities, for example), stigmatization, humiliation, and sexual violence, among others (Zurbrügg & Miner, 2016). Women, whatever their sexual orientation, are also victims of discrimination and violence in the workplace (Laufer, 2014). This research project lies at the intersection of these two fields, and aims to describe and understand the work experience of lesbian employees, and how work organizations can become more inclusive for these women (acronym ODILE: Organization - Diversity - Inclusion - LEsbians). In doing so, it integrates a "gender approach" into the understanding of discrimination and violence experienced by homosexual people at work. The project is based on three studies: a qualitative exploratory study based on interviews, a netnography, and a quantitative study based on a questionnaire in order to create and analyze a representative database of French employees. It aims to enrich the literature on gender and the literature on the inclusion of homosexual people by crossing them and showing the specificity of lesbian employees' experiences at work. This enrichment will also shed light on the notion of inclusion, which is increasingly used (but also criticized) in academic literature.
