Many LGBTIQ people in the EU don't feel safe being open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics. They often feel threatened and are at risk of poverty and social exclusion. Many also don't feel safe reporting verbal abuse and physical violence to the police.
LGBTIQ people in the EU face discrimination, hatred, and harassment every day. This can harm their physical, mental, and emotional health. We need to work to protect their rights and safety.
