Communities and Social Justice

We're improving equality for London communities, working with migrants and refugees, and helping people get online.

Our vision for equality, diversity and inclusion

A successful city needs to work well for all residents. Everyone should be able to share in its prosperity, culture and community life regardless of their age, social class, disability, race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, or whether they are pregnant or on maternity leave.

The Mayor has put together his strategy to create a truly inclusive London.
