The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission has published a groundbreaking report VIOLENCE: Through the Lens of Lesbians, Bisexual Women and Transgender People in Asia that documents the violence and exclusion faced by LBT people in every sphere of their lives.
The research, which was carried out by Gay Japan News, KRYSS in Malaysia, O in Pakistan, Rainbow Rights Project of the Philippines, and Women’s Support Group, Sri Lanka, confirmed the grave consequences of homophobia and transphobia in those countries.
In Sri Lanka, more than two-thirds of respondents reported surviving physical violence and more than half reported sexual violence. Across all of the countries, family members were among the most frequent and harmful perpetrators.
