Intersections: The LGBTI II Survey Analysis project

Our Intersections series takes a deeper look at the FRA 2019 LGBTI Survey II data and zooming in on specific groups within the LGBTI community.

Disaggregated data, which can look deeply into the lived experiences of marginalised people, is a key demand of LGBTI and other human rights groups. With this in mind, over the last year ILGA-Europe have been partnering with a variety of NGOs in the region to analyse the FRA 2019 LGBTI Survey II data and pull out experiences of those experiencing intersectional marginalisation.

This work is based on analysis co-commissioned by ILGA-Europe and TGEU.
