According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, violence against homosexual or transgender people is reported in all regions of the world.
Publicity
Whether it is physical or verbal attacks, torture, kidnappings or even targeted assassinations. Rights are progressing in some countries such as Gabon or India which decriminalized homosexuality in 2020 and 2018 respectively, but sexual orientation is still largely taboo in societies and the daily life of homosexual and transgender people is often complicated. In France, anti-LGBT crimes and offenses (lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender) even jumped by 73% between 2016 and 2019. How to make the voice of LGBT people heard and sustainably improve their place in our societies?
