Violence against lesbians, bi women and trans people: Adapting the public response to the diversity of LGBTI+ life experiences

Policy Study

In order to showcase the breath of gender-based violence and its link to gendered inequalities, FEPS and Fondation Jean-Jaurès join forces for this series of publications on the fight to eliminate sexist and sexual violence. In this article, Flora Bolter (co-director of the LGBTI+ observatory of Foundation Jean Jaurès, political scientist and activist) focuses on the gendered nature of LB-phobic violence and violence against trans and intersex people. She offers an overview on their scope in France and in Europe before concluding with the necessary public response to effectively combat them.
