About this event

Violence is an everyday reality for many LGBT+ people around the world, threatening their lives and wellbeing. More needs to be done, at every level of society, to help ensure LGBT+ people are safe.

Join us for the launch of a ground-breaking new report with emerging insights on how to prevent violence against LGBT+ people, independently produced through the UK's What Works to Prevent Violence programme. The report brings together a wealth of existing evidence, and includes new, promising practices informed through consultations with LGBT+ organisations.

The UK's Minister of State for Development and Africa, Andrew Mitchell, will be joined by Jamille Bigio, Senior Coordinator for Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment at USAID, and a panel of activists and civil society representatives, to discuss the report's recommendations. More information about panellists will be shared shortly.

Access the full report here, along with a shorter policy brief which is translated into Arabic, French and Spanish.
