"The scale of brutal violence, legal discrimination, and sexualized harassment these communities face is rarely documented." The interviewees ranged in age from 21 to 75 and the majority of them are"movement leaders, activists, and human rights defenders working at the local or national level," the report notes. They include Amani, who told HRW that"I got beaten by police in a protest for an arrested human rights defender Rania Amdouni in 2021."Amani is a 27-year-old Lebanese-Tunisian lesbian activist, queer feminist, and woman human rights defender in Tunisia.
Andrea Rivas, a lesbian activist and lawyer in Argentina, said that"the first homophobic attack I suffered was at 12 years old: verbal violence from the father of the girl I was going with. He knew just by how I dressed. I liked pants. Parents tell girls like me if we won't stop dressing like this, we won't get to go to school. You are marginalized in the early stages, in primary school and high school.
;“I spoke to LBQ+ women in 26 countries about legal discrimination, sexual abuse & how they're organizing for justice.\n\n66 interviewees in a row told me they'd never seen a global report on violence against LBQ+ women.\n\nToday @hrw is publishing that report.\n\nhttps://t.
