FRA presents the results of its LGBTI survey to the LIBE committee

On 16 July, FRA Director Michael O’Flaherty presented the results of the LGBTI survey to the LIBE Committee of the European Parliament.

FRA’s 2019 LGBTI survey is the largest survey on discrimination, violence and hate crimes against LGBTI people ever done worldwide.

The results show that even though more lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex people are now open about who they are, fear, violence and discrimination remain high.

The findings presented to the LIBE Committee should drive policy measures to further protect and promote the rights of LGBTI people.
