    LGBTIQ at a crossroads: progress and challenges

    FRA’s third LGBTIQ survey shows that people still experience hate-motivated violence and discrimination. Trans and intersex people face even greater victimisation. Yet, signs of progress show that the EU’s and Member States’ efforts can positively affect people’s lives. More LGBTIQ people are open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.

    A long way to go for LGBTI equality

Professionally speaking: challenges to achieving equality for LGBT people

The fundamental rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people are often not respected across the EU. Public officials and other professionals in education, healthcare and law enforcement are entrusted with the duty to ensure that everyone’s fundamental rights are protected and promoted.

Schutz vor Diskriminierung aufgrund der sexuellen Ausrichtung, der Geschlechtsidentität sowie der Geschlechtsmerkmale in der EU – Vergleichende rechtliche Analyse - Aktualisierung 2015

Während das Bewusstsein für die Rechte von lesbischen, schwulen, bisexuellen, transsexuellen und intersexuellen
(LGBTI-)Personen in der Europäischen Union (EU) zunimmt, gibt es nach wie vor Hürden, die LGBTI daran hindern,
ihre Grundrechte in vollem Umfang wahrzunehmen. Dieser Bericht stellt eine Aktualisierung der vergleichenden
rechtlichen Analyse der FRA zum Thema Diskriminierung aufgrund der sexuellen Ausrichtung und Geschlechtsidentität
aus dem Jahr 2010 dar: Homophobie, Transphobie und Diskriminierung aufgrund der sexuellen Ausrichtung und der
Geschlechtsidentität.

Grundrechte: Herausforderungen und Erfolge im Jahr 2014 – Jahresbericht der FRA

Im Jahr 2014 stellten die Mitgliedstaaten und Institutionen der Europäische Union (EU) eine Reihe von rechtlichen und politischen
Maßnahmen vor, um die Grundrechte in der EU zu gewährleisten. Trotz dieser Bemühungen bleibt immer noch viel
zu tun. In einigen Bereichen ist die Situation beunruhigend: die Zahl der MigrantInnen, die gerettet oder auf See festgenommen
wurden, als sie die Grenzen der EU versuchten zu erreichen, vervierfachte sich seit 2013; mehr als ein Viertel der Kinder
in der EU sind von Armut oder sozialer Ausgrenzung bedroht; immer mehr politische Parteien verwenden fremdenfeindliche
und gegen MigrantInnen gerichtete Rhetorik in ihren Kampagnen, was dazu führen kann, dass mehr Personen anfälliger
werden, Opfer von Straftaten oder Hassverbrechen zu werden.

Access to justice, including rights of crime victims

New strategic guidelines in the area of freedom, security and justice by the European Council placed increasing mutual trust, strengthening the protection of victims and reinforcing the rights of accused persons and suspects high on the EU policy agenda. Many EU Member States adopted new laws or reformed existing laws and policies in this area, while efforts continued at UN, Council of Europe and EU level to strengthen the rule of law, judicial independence and the efficiency of justice systems, as cornerstones of a democratic society.

Leben als Trans* in der EU - Vergleichende Datenanalyse aus der EU‑LGBT‑Erhebung - Zusammenfassung

Trans* Personen, deren Geschlechtsidentität oder Ausdrucksformen des Geschlechts von dem bei der Geburt zugewiesenen Geschlecht abweichen, sind heute in der Europäischen Union (EU) häufig Diskriminierung, Belästigung und Gewalt ausgesetzt. Diese Realität löst Ängste aus, die viele von ihnen veranlassen, ihr eigentliches Selbst zu verstecken oder zu verschleiern. Dieser Bericht untersucht die Fragen Gleichbehandlung und Diskriminierung aus zwei Perspektiven, nämlich sexuelle Orientierung und Geschlechtsidentität.

Equality and non-discrimination

Developments in equality and non-discrimination in 2014 were marked by the EU’s efforts to become more inclusive. Working actively to counter discrimination in all its forms and to foster equal treatment requires sustained efforts by all interested parties, so EU institutions worked closely with Member States and FRA to raise awareness on issues of discrimination, including on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, or to encourage recourse to redress mechanisms.

Being Trans in the EU - Comparative analysis of the EU LGBT survey data

Trans persons, or those whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from the sex assigned them at birth, face frequent discrimination, harassment and violence across the European Union (EU) today. This reality triggers fears that persuade many to hide or disguise their true selves. This report examines issues of equal treatment and discrimination on two grounds, namely sexual orientation and gender identity. It analyses data on the experiences of 6,579 trans respondents from the EU Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) survey, the largest body of empirical evidence of its kind to date.

Grundrechte: wesentliche juristische und politische Entwicklungen im Jahr 2013

Die Europäische Union (EU) und ihre Mitgliedstaaten haben 2013 eine Vielzahl wichtiger Schritte zum Schutz und zur Förderung der Grundrechte gesetzt, indem sie neue internationale Verpflichtungen eingegangen sind, Rechtsvorschriften überarbeitet und innovative politische Strategien vor Ort verfolgt haben. Dennoch gerieten Grundrechtsverletzungen mit besorgniserregender Häufigkeit in die Schlagzeilen: Flüchtlinge, die vor den Küsten Europas ertranken, beispiellose Massenüberwachung, rassistisch und extremistisch motivierte Morde, Kinderarmut und Benachteiligung der Roma.
