Study about violence against lgbtq

LGBT people nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to be victims of violent crime

LGBT people are nearly four times more likely than non-LGBT people to exposure violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault, according to a fresh study by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law. In addition, LGBT people are more likely to experience violence both by someone well-known to the victim and at the hands of a stranger.

Researchers analyzed information from the 2017 National Crime Victimization Survey, the first nationally representative and comprehensive criminal victimization data to incorporate information on the sexual orientation and gender identity of respondents.

Results showed that, in 2017, LGBT people experienced 71.1 victimizations per 1,000 people, compared to 19.2 victimizations per 1,000 people for non-LGBT people. LGBT people had higher rates of stern violence victimization in almost every type of violent crime except robbery, which showed no significant difference between LGBT and non-LGBT people.

“It is clear that LGBT are at greater risk of violent victimization, but the question is why,” said command author Andrew R.

More than 1 in 5 hate crimes are motivated by anti-LGBTQ+ bias

WASHINGTON — The FBI today released its annual report looking back at hate crimes numbers for the prior calendar year — and for 2023, the hate crime statistics relating to incidents targeting members of the Homosexual community once again exhibition disturbing, record-breaking numbers. Even as violence in the nation overall is continuing to drop, reports of hate crime incidents targeting people for their sexual orientation or gender individuality are rising.

“Every lesbian, same-sex attracted, bisexual, transgender and lgbtq+ person in this territory should be free to live their lives without fear that we’ll be the target of a violent incident purely because of who we are and who we love,” said Kelley Robinson, Human Rights Campaign President. “Unfortunately, the latest FBI loathe crimes data shows that even as public acceptance of LGBTQ+ people continu
Anti-LGBT Victimization in the Combined States
LGBT people experienced a higher rate of thoughtful violence, defined as rape or sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated assault, than non-LGBT people (53.7 vs. 8.5 per 1,000),including higher rates of violence involving a weapon (27.4 vs. 5.7 per 1,000)and earnest violence resulting in injuries (21.3 vs. 2.4 per 22 LGBT people were also more likely to experience violent hate crimes (6.4 vs. 0.7 per 1,000).
Conclusion
Consistent with prior findings, our results show that compared with non-LGBT people, LGBT people have been subject to disparities in exposure to violence, including hate crimes.LGBT victims of violence are also more likely than non-LGBT people to experience attacks that are more violent and to suffer injuries because of these attacks. The curtailment and elimination of civil rights protections for LGBT people in the United States puts them at risk for increased victimization and hate crimes.

The report ‘LGBTIQ equality at a crossroads: progress and challenges’ captures the experiences, views and challenges LGBTIQ people face in Europe. It also highlights the changes since FRA’s previous surveys in 2019 and 2012.
The findings reveal signs of slow but slow progress. While discrimination against LGBTIQ people remains sky-high , it is gradually failing. Schools deal with LGBTIQ issues more positively and proactively, and young people feel more supported by their teachers and peers. Nevertheless, bullying, harassment and violence have reached lofty levels.
The key findings of the survey include:
Openness: over 1 in 2 are now open about their sexual orientation, gender individuality and expression, and sex characteristics. But most still avoid holding hands with their same-sex partner in public for fear of being attacked.
Discrimination: over 1 in 3 face discrimination in their daily experience because of who they are. This is a slight decrease from 2 in 5 in 2019. Yet, discrimination remains imperceptible as only 1 in 10 report incidents.
Violence: over 1 in 10 experienced violence in the 5 years before the survey, slightly more than in 2019. Over 1 in 3 intersex people were
Understanding Intimate Boyfriend Violence in the LGBTQ+ Community
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), also known as domestic violence, companion abuse, or digital dating violence, refers to the various means of control used by an abuser against their companion in an intimate relationship. According to the Centers for Disease Control, IPV includes many forms of abuse, including “physical violence, sexual violence, stalking and psychological aggression (including coercive tactics) by a current or former intimate boyfriend (i.e., spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend, dating partner, or ongoing sexual partner).” Anyone—regardless of their identity, or that of their partner—can experience IPV.
However, misogynist gender roles, racial/ethnic stereotypes and institutional discrimination, and economic insecurity, place certain segments of the population at greater risk, such as women, BIPOC people, those living in poverty, and younger adults. For LGBTQ+ people, these same social determinants compound with homophobic and transphobic stigma, creating even greater risk of IPV among the collective.
