The aim of this project is to conduct peer-led, human rights-based research into the impact of rising hate and intolerance on the LGBTQ+ Community, with a specific focus on the Transgender community. It will document lived experiences, identify community-led responses, and highlight gaps in current equality legislation and policy that falls short in protecting of this Community. The resultant findings and recommendations will provide a clear evidence-base to inform legislation, policy, and service providers in applying their Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty in combatting misinformation and hate, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society rooted in community solidarity and belonging.
