First page of brief

This policy brief summarises the key findings from the report ‘Ending Violence Against LGBTQI+ People - Global evidence and emerging insights into what works’, including on the prevalence on violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people (LGBTQI+) people, and the drivers and impacts of this violence. It shares emerging insights into what works to prevent this kind of violence, and sets out a series of recommendations for policy-makers and donors, practitioners and researchers to take forward.

The report and policy brief were independently produced by the Ending Violence against Women and Children (VAWC) Helpdesk, as part of the What Works to Prevent Violence against Women and Girls: Impact at Scale programme. The report is based on a global evidence review and consultations with LGBTQI+ organisations as well as LGBTQI+ rights and gender equality practitioners.
