According to research, gay men and other LBGTQI+ representatives experience violence and hate crimes more often than heterosexual individuals. The data we have in Eastern Europe and Central Asia shows that LGBTQI+ individuals are at a great risk to violence.
At the same time, community organisations are quite often the only possibility for LGBTQI+ representatives to receive any support. Thus, we initiated this work as a first step to increase awareness about this topic within the community as well as to provide essential information about psychotrauma and how to support clients that need help.
